Chemistry (12) Visualization at atomic and molecular levels using STM and AFM has become one of the most important advancements in science and technology in the last decade. While examples of atomic imaging techniques in new chemistry textbooks have enhanced students' visualization of atoms and molecules, the lack of laboratory experiences integrated across the curriculum has impeded the learning processes. As part of a recent campus wide emphasis on materials, we are building this important new technique into the entire undergraduate chemistry curriculum, bridging the gap between coursework and the laboratory. This is being achieved by creating three laboratory demonstration modules for lower level chemistry courses and four hands-on laboratories in upper level analytical and inorganic/materials courses based on the guided inquiry approach to education. Building on the successful experience on this campus in the inorganic/materials laboratory, this approach involves following a verification-type experience with a more open-ended question for students to explore. The types of samples used in the demonstration modules and in the hands-on experiments are designed so that students experience both the visualization of atomic arrangements of ideal solid surfaces, and also adlayer assemblies on surfaces and interfaces. This project adapts a number of experiments primarily from the research literature to create these new demonstration modules and hands-on laboratories. Through collaboration with Broome Community College, the applicability of the new materials to the two-year college curriculum is being assured, specifically for use as part of Instrumental Analysis in the Chemical Technology Program.

化学（12）使用STM和AFM在原子和分子水平上的可视化已经成为过去十年中科学和技术最重要的进步之一。虽然新化学教科书中的原子成像技术的例子增强了学生对原子和分子的可视化，但缺乏贯穿课程的实验室经验阻碍了学习过程。作为最近校园广泛强调材料的一部分，我们正在将这一重要的新技术纳入整个本科化学课程，弥合课程和实验室之间的差距。这是通过以下方式实现的：为低年级化学课程创建三个实验室演示模块，并在指导探究教育方法的基础上，为高年级分析和无机/材料课程创建四个动手实验室。在无机/材料实验室这个校园的成功经验的基础上，这种方法涉及以下验证型的经验与一个更开放的问题，让学生探索。在演示模块和动手实验中使用的样品类型的设计，使学生体验理想固体表面的原子排列的可视化，也adlayer组件的表面和界面。 该项目主要从研究文献中改编了一些实验，以创建这些新的演示模块和动手实验室。 通过与布鲁姆社区学院的合作，新材料对两年制大学课程的适用性得到了保证，特别是作为化学技术计划中仪器分析的一部分。
