The Chemistry Collective

The Chemistry Collective is a collection of virtual labs, scenario-based learning activities, and concepts tests which can be incorporated into a variety of teaching approaches as pre-labs, alternatives to textbook homework, and in-class activities for individuals or teams. It is organized by a group of faculty and staff at Carnegie Mellon University for college and high school teachers who are interested in using, assessing, and/or creating engaging online activities for chemistry education.

How to participate

Sponsors

The ChemCollective is funded by the National Science Foundation flasks through the Course, Curriculum and Laboratory Improvement program and the National Science Digital Library.

Upcoming Events

Stop by our booth in the exhibit hall of this year’s ChemEd 2009 conference at Radford University, August 2 – 6, 2009. We will also be presenting a free workshop on classroom uses for the ChemCollective materials.
