Seeing Chemistry in a Different Light—FLIR Thermal Cameras in the Classroom

// Wednesday, January 15, 2020 • Ben Meacham

One of the inherent challenges of teaching chemistry is to make the invisible, visible. Often, we try to overcome this barrier by getting creative with a variety of models, animations, and simulations to help students think about chemistry in a way that is easier to conceptualize.

AACT Science Coaches

// Tuesday, April 30, 2019 • Lauren Stewart

This past school year, I had the opportunity to participate in the AACT Science Coaches program. When I applied for the program, I expected to be partnered with a professor, probably someone who had been in academia for quite awhile. I thought that this person could share their research with my students and maybe help me with some content questions.
