Chemical Information Sources/Teaching and Studying Chemistry

< Chemical Information Sources

Introduction

edit

It is sometimes the case that a chemist is asked to teach a course with little or no guidance or preparation. Likewise, students could often profit from consulting supplemental materials to assist in understanding certain aspects of chemistry. This chapter will lead you to materials and sources that will be useful for both teaching and studying chemistry.

Teaching of Chemistry

edit

Aspects about teaching of chemistry include standards and guidelines; books for both new and experienced chemistry instructors that includes a number of recently published titles in the ACS Symposium Series; chemistry demonstration books; journals, magazines, and newsletters that are useful both for keeping current with changes happening in chemical education as well as being a source to publish articles for chemical educators; and key databases for discovering new chemical education articles.

  • Lister, Ted., Catherine O'Driscoll, and Neville Reed. 1995. Classic Chemistry Demonstrations. London: Education Division, The Royal Society of Chemistry. "This book is an essential, much-used resource book for all chemistry teachers. It is a collection of chemistry experiments, many well-known others less so, for demonstration in front of a class of students from school to undergraduate age. Chemical demonstrations fulfill a number of important functions in the teaching process where practical class work is not possible. Demonstrations are often spectacular and therefore stimulating and motivating, they allow the students to see an experiment which they otherwise would not be able to share, and they allow the students to see a skilled practitioner at work. Written by a teacher with several years' experience, it includes many well-known experiments, because these will be useful to new chemistry teachers or to scientists from other disciplines who are teaching some chemistry. They have all been trialled in schools and colleges, and the vast majority of the experiments can be carried out at normal room temperature and with easily accessible equipment. The book will prove its worth again and again as a regular source of reference for planning lessons." (Publisher's description)
  • Roesky, H. W. 2007. Spectacular Chemical Experiments. Weinheim: Wiley-VCH. "This book demonstrates over 80 enjoyable, impressive and sometimes almost unbelievable chemical experiments for the classroom, lecture hall or home. All the experiments are explained in full, and have been tested several times such that their successful reproduction is guaranteed. Grouped into several cycles -- water, the color blue, the color red, soles, and self-organization -- the topics are perfect for experimental lectures or school projects. Detailed illustrations and the lively writing style make this book equally attractive to readers interested in chemistry, even if they are unable to perform the experiments." (Publisher's description)
  • Roesky, H. W., and K Möckel. 1996. Chemical Curiosities: Spectacular Experiments and Inspired Quotes. Weinheim: Wiley. "Could it be magic...? Chemical experiments are not only essential for teaching chemistry, they also fascinate the audience. This book is an excellent source of inspiration for every 'magic show' and classroom demonstration. In a very playful manner, the experiments described here open up the manifold, colourful, and sometimes ear-splitting world of chemistry. Ranging from unusual (but useful) properties of matter to the illustration of the greenhouse effect, this masterful chemist's 'cookbook' is highly suitable for preparing demonstrations in front of larger audiences. Building a bridge between science and the arts, every experiment is introduced by inspiring citations from prose and poetry, which makes reading and experimenting equally enjoyable." (Publisher's description)
  • Summerlin, Lee R., and James L Ealy. 1988. Chemical Demonstrations: A Sourcebook for Teachers (2 Volumes). 2nd ed. Washington, DC: American Chemical Society. "Contains 112 demonstrations appropriate for any introductory chemical program. Offers clear, concise text that details each demonstration.

Provides a cross listing of demonstrations and chemical topics, thus allowing you to quickly find the right demonstration to fit a specific topic. Will benefit both student and teacher." (Publisher's description)

Journals, Magazines, & Newsletters

edit

Innovative approaches to teaching chemistry are found in journals. Below are selected journals, magazines, and newsletters of potential interest to chemical educators.

Journals

  • Journal of Chemical Education or JCE is the official journal of the Division of Chemical Education of the American Chemical Society, co-published with the American Chemical Society Publications Division. Launched in 1924, JCE is the world’s premier chemical education journal. The journal publishes peer-reviewed articles and related information as a resource to those in the field of chemical education and to those institutions that serve them. JCE typically addresses chemical content, activities, laboratory experiments, instructional methods, and pedagogies. The Journal serves as a means of communication among people across the world who are interested in the teaching and learning of chemistry. This includes instructors of chemistry from middle school through graduate school, professional staff that support these teaching activities, as well as some scientists in commerce, industry, and government." (Publisher's description)
  • JCE Chemical Education Xchange "is the new name for JCE Online, the former web site of the Journal of Chemical Education. Also called ChemED X, you will find a collection of digital video, references to items of interest from around the web, and several titles intended to help students learn various aspects of the chemical sciences. ChemEd X offers you the opportunity to share ideas, content, and comment on the world of chemical education in a manner similar to other social web sites. A major emphasis of JCE Chemical Education Exchange will be to better serve precollege and two-year college audiences for whom JCE and the Journal may not be a central resource to their teaching and learning of chemistry and the chemical sciences. For such teachers and students the rigor of the contribution process for the Journal presents a bar too high with little professional reward for those who attempt to surmount it. ChemEd X strives to deliver content that is more accessible to this audience while at the same time adheres to JCE's principles of peer review and assessment of contributions." (Publisher's description)
  • The Chemical Educator or TCE "is a peer-reviewed journal serving the needs of all chemical education professionals. TCE is a working journal, a reference to current topics, experiments, and teaching methodology. Video clips of demonstrations and laboratories, animation, and full-color graphics are available to enhance the clarity and usefulness of articles. The classroom and laboratory materials needed for implementation, including detailed instructions, actual student handouts, student data, computer files, and safety and disposal instructions, are available on-line at the time of publication. Featured tutorial articles on modern instrumentation, techniques, and theory provide educators access to the most current information in a format immediately usable in their classrooms and laboratories. Because of the expanding interest in chemical education research, TCE also aims to provide quality articles in the expanding field of chemical education research. Studies published in this area provide concrete evidence and conclusions about techniques that improve teaching effectiveness." (Publisher's description)
