Living by Chemistry: Inquiry Based Modules for High School

小行星9730634斯泰西 化学生活是一个模块化的高中课程，通过在有意义的背景下嵌入基于探究的化学概念，促进教师实践的变化和学生科学素养的提高。 六个模块，重点是生活的主题，是诊断疾病，味觉，酶反应，呼吸，血液化学和食物的能量。 前两个模块侧重于原子之间的键;接下来的三个模块侧重于原子的排列如何在变换中变化;最后一个模块侧重于使用能量概念来预测化学和物理变化。 多学科背景可以吸引不同的学生。 核心内容涉及国家科学教育标准和项目2061基准。 科学过程强调以科学的方式学习科学。 学生提出问题，提供初步想法，收集数据并完善想法。 最初，讲师模拟科学家的思维过程并指导模拟科学本质的调查。 在后面的模块中，学生提出自己的问题，设计实验来回答他们，并监控自己的理解。 评估措施的概念理解，模型的生成和完善，以及实验设计。 教师参与编写和测试教材。 通过商业出版物传播。 产品包括光盘和印刷材料。

9730634 Stacy Living by Chemistry is a modular high school course to promote change in teacher practice and increase in student science literacy by embedding the concepts of inquiry-based chemistry in meaningful contexts. The six modules, focusing on a life theme, are diagnosing disease, the sense of taste, enzyme reactions, breathing, blood chemistry, and energy from food. The first two modules focus on bonds between atoms; the next three modules focus on how arrangements of atoms change in transformations; the last module focuses on using energy concepts to predict chemical and physical changes. The multidisciplinary context can engage a diverse set of students. The core content addresses the National Science Education Standards and the Project 2061 Benchmarks. The science processes emphasize learning science the way science is done. Students ask questions, provide initial ideas, gather data and refine the ideas. Initially, the instructor models the thought processes of scientists and guides the investigations that model the nature of science. In later modules, students ask their own questions, design experiments to answer them and monitor their own understanding. The assessment measures conceptual understanding, model generation and refinement, and experimental design. Teachers are involved in the development and testing of the materials. Dissemination is by commercial publication. Products include a CDROM and print materials.
