Chemistry
In our modern world the study of the property of materials at the atomic and molecular
level (chemistry) has become the benchmark of scientific literacy in the 21st century. The following sessions
center upon topics that pertain to this important subject. Note that when possible presenters have indicated
the typical middle, secondary, or college level courses that their work is germain to. Note that morning
sessions run from 9:00 until 10:50 am and afternoon sessions from 1:00 until 2:50 pm.
Chemistry Sessions
(Linked to sessions #17 and #18)
Come experience one teachers path through chemistry in the 21st century. Using JAVA Applets, graphing technology, software and communication as a way to teach and learn chemistry at all levels.

Courses of Interest: Middle school, High School and beyond
Leader: David Young, (bio), Fayetteville HS, Fayetteville, AR
(Linked to sessions #14 and #15)
This course is intended for all chemistry teachers who do not remember much physics… but wish they did. I will present several physics topics that are of interest to chemistry teachers. By reviewing these topics in depth, the participants will enrich their content knowledge and classroom curriculum. Examples of topics to be discussed:
- The structure of atom and basics of quantum theory
- Nuclear science
- Thermodynamics and gas laws
- Electricity and electrochemistry
