JCE Classroom Activities #1-50 on CD-ROM
JCE Classroom Activities are inquiry-based, hands-on, minds-on activities that can be used in the classroom, the laboratory, at home, or in an outreach setting. They are generally intended to be fun or thought-provoking introductions to new ideas or topics, to spark discussion, and to lead to further study and experimentation. Many can also be used as a culminating activity to finish a unit topic. Most of the Activities can be performed using materials commonly found in the home, or at grocery and hardware stores. The intended audience is high school students, but with minor modifications, many are also appropriate for elementary, middle school, and college students. Each Activity is self-contained and contains two pages: Instructor Information and a Student Activity. The Instructor Information presents all the background materials needed by the instructor to knowledgeably lead the Activity. The Student Activity is ready to photocopy and use as a student handout.
This CD-ROM contains the first 50 Activities of the series, which were published in the Journal of Chemical Education beginning in September 1997, through January 2003. Each entry includes a pdf copy of the Activity, along with any online supplements that originally accompanied it. It is part of a series of JCE Compiled CD-ROMs for Macintosh and Windows computers.
