Hello Kathleen and Kim

I took Reactions a while back and never took my name off the
list. It is a good place to share resources and ideas. The course
itself has some excellent activities and strategies, but the
participants have even more. It is also a good place to share
something about yourself and get to know others who teach chemistry.

One truly fine discussion was about sharing first day activities. I
work as a museum educator and also homeschool, so either I have kids
for at most a week, usually an hour or I have had them since birth,
both very different venues from a conventional classroom. Two of the
projects I am working on are ways for our docents to explain
radiometric dating succinctly and to explain how spectrometry works
beyond the "light fingerprint" analogy.
