Chemical Literacy

Help me give my students the tools to engage more actively in working on chemistry concepts. I am creating their tables into white boards and they are practicing writing equations and drawing molecules and visualizing chemistry.

My Project

I'm transforming my classroom by turning student tables into interactive whiteboards, which allows students to actively draw out chemistry processes.

My aim is to use this, in combination with the smart atom system, to significantly improve students' chemistry literacy.

The real value comes from watching them teach and explain concepts to their peers.

This peer-to-peer instruction not only helps me refine my teaching methods but also gives me a deeper, more authentic way to assess their understanding beyond traditional tests. This approach makes learning more engaging and provides a clearer window into their comprehension.
