Program Management System - 19th BCCE - Teaching to the National Science Standards: Using Chemistry Content to Connect Concrete Concepts to Abstract Ideas
| Symposium Title: |
Teaching to the National Science Standards: Using Chemistry Content to Connect Concrete Concepts to Abstract Ideas |
| Descrption: |
According to the National Standards (Physical Science Content Standard B), high school students should develop an understanding of the relationship between three domains: macroscopic (observable phenomena); microscopic (molecules, atoms, and particles); and symbolic (formulas, equations, and reactions). Developing and refining these relationships are challenging for many students. A strong chemistry course that provides learning experiences and activities that expand students’ knowledge base as well as connect to their prior knowledge is essential. Teaching activities will be presented that relate concepts such as atomic structure with reactions, forces, energy transfers, and entropy. These topics provide excellent vehicles for bridging the gap between the concrete concepts that students have and the abstract ideas we would like for them to develop. These same topics also provide many opportunities to identify and clarify common misconceptions. |
