This is the formative assessment activity entitled "The Exploding Pringles Can Design Challenge" designed by the ACCT project.
The Chemical Substances Inventory (CSI) is a formative assessment designed to learn about students' understanding of chemical identity. The formative assessment was designed by the Sevian research group (as indicated by the star
).
"Let's Learn About Chemistry", written by chemistry educator, Stephanie Ryan, introduces chemistry to kids through the use of comparison activities.
Due to the COVID 19 crisis, ChemEd X videos and software is open access to all educators.
