Instructors/Faculty
Information
Your students
arrive in your chemistry class with an enormous diversity
of background. What if the
instructional material teaching the concepts of chemistry
linked to many of their common experiences?
Wouldn't it become
easier to make an impact, to have active learning,
showing how chemistry impacts the mainstream of our
lives?
ChemCases.com
units are freely available for your use. They link
chemical concepts taught in General Chemistry to
responsible decision making in our society.
The cases provide
a ready resource of capsules of knowledge that challenge
and entertain your students. They provide you with
a continuing, thematic source of auxiliary material to
supplement your instruction.

About ChemCases.com ChemCases.com is a
series of curriculum units that link responsible decision
making in product development with chemical principles
taught in General Chemistry.
We expect
ChemCases.com curriculum supplements will lead interested
students toward the sciences, medicine, pharmacy and
engineering by:
Developing
Knowledge of how the tools of chemistry are used in
the service of society
Comprehension of the conflicting
information necessary to move an idea to the
marketplace
Application of this
information to show how chemical principles are used to
make decisions
Evaluation of the data to
synthesize solutions to technical and non technical
challenges
