A really good power point.2. A student worksheet that follows the power point.3. A Follow-up activity/assement. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=490362 This site is designed to provide high school and middle school science teachers access to the materials and resources that the author has collected during their 37 years of teaching in the field. Some of the materials are of the author's own design, but many are those they have borrowed from others and refined for their own use. They include:- Activities and worksheets- Laboratory exercises- Links to useful pages- Puzzles, games, and songs- Online test reviews by topic http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=86263 This is a collection of over fifty interactive Excel Spreadsheets (aka - simulations) or Excelets for discovery learning in general chemistry. The Excelets range from simple calculation aids to exploring concepts by bringing the mathematics alive. Topics covered include the bond energy calculator, temperature scales, ideal gas law, interactive periodic trends, Beer’s Law, kinetics including competing/consecutive reactions and radioactive decay, weak acid behavior, buffers, weak acid distribution diagrams, and potential energy diagrams plus the influence of random and/or systematic error in many of the topics. Guided-inquiry activities are included with many of the spreadsheets. A link to a "How to" guide for developing Excelets is provided. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=83103 This site contains three types of Chemistry learning tools including (1) Animated tutorials and visualization of more than 60 molecules with primary focus on Lewis representation, VSEPR and Molecular Orbital Theories; (2) Animated organic reaction mechanisms; and (3) Mastering Chemistry which provides more than 60 automated assessment units with multiple topics that address the content treated in college introductory and general chemistry as well as high school chemistry. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=393613 This website contains a collection of excellent chemistry demonstrations that include overal descriptions of the experiment being demonstrated, the chemical concepts being reviewed, safety issues, the step-by-step procedures, questions to ask, a handoout that can be used for student makeups, and excellent movies that show what what happens in the experiment.The materials were developed in conjunction with Robert Becker of Kirkwood High School in Kirkwood, MO. The demonstrations and laboratories are those selected and used by Bob in his classroom. Many of the demonstrations may be assembled in a short time with a limited number of solutions to illustrate a specific point. Some demonstration activities are designated as suitable for either demonstrations or laboratories. If time is short, do a short demonstration with many presentation questions. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=80199 Crystals for the Classroom is a teaching-learning module designed to introduce students to the chemistry of crystals and solutions. Lessons in chemistry are embedded in issues relating to energy production, the science of nuclear energy, and the frontiers of research in nuclear fusion. *Crystals for the Classroom provides a collection of student-teacher materials that serve a wide range of pedagogies. They are intended to provide at least one useful resource that suits the teaching style of any general chemistry college or university instructor from traditional lecturer to experimentalist in new teaching methods and to provide students with support for various different learning styles. The materials are intended to stand alone in most cases; not requiring adoption nor use of the entire module. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=557546 El sitio parte de un Proyecto Global sobre enseñanza y aprendizaje de la Química, apoyado por distintas instituciones.Fomentan el aprendizaje con analogías y ejemplos de la vida cotidiana.
