Tower 2 (Hershey Lodge and Convention Center)
Chemical Education (CHED)
What's Working Well in My Classroom or Laboratory II
Today's topics include integrated studies and highlight organic chemistry innovations. A pre-college course for at-risk students uses case studies in diabetes mellitus while a course for pre-service high school teachers of biology or chemistry uses a study of chemical biology. The organic chemistry topics include podcast for tutorials, a suggested introduction to mass spectroscopy, and a "green chemistry" approach to organic toxic waste.
