Elementary, Secondary, and Informal Education: "Active Chemistry" -- An Inquiry-based Secondary Chemistry Curriculum

“活动化学”是一门一年制、独立的、探究性的中学化学课程。它以“活动物理”的设计和教学策略为范本，旨在遵循它或与之结合使用，成为一门物理科学课程。《活性化学》符合国家科学教育标准和国家框架，指导所有9-12年级的学生学习解决现实世界问题所必需的科学知识。关于体育科学与健康、环境问题、娱乐和能源的四个章节包含三个模块。每个模块包括章节挑战、场景、活动和期末项目作业。学生们分组合作，获取应对挑战所需的知识。化学概念是在需要了解的基础上介绍的，主题在不同的章节中重新出现，在不同的背景下提供多种暴露。教师资源以矩阵形式提供范围和顺序，其中包括确定的统一和基本概念、建议的教学战略和技术，以及其他资源，包括安全问题预防措施、设备清单和评估工具。提供了一个章节的专业发展视频。

"Active Chemistry" is a modular, one year, stand-alone, inquiry-based, secondary school chemistry course. It is modeled in design and pedagogical strategies on "Active Physics" and is meant to follow it or to be used in conjunction with it to become a physical science course. "Active Chemistry" is aligned with the National Science Education Standards and State Frameworks that directs all students, grades 9-12, to learn the science necessary to solve real-world problems. The four chapters on Sports Science and Health, Environmental Issues, Entertainment, and Energy contain three modules. Each module includes a chapter challenge, a scenario, activities, and a final project assignment. Students work together in groups to acquire the knowledge needed to address the challenge. Chemical concepts are introduced on a need to know basis and topics reappear in various chapters providing multiple exposures in different contexts. The teacher resources provide a scope and sequence presented in matrix format with unifying and fundamental concepts identified, suggested instructional strategies and techniques, and other resources including precautions on safety issues, equipment lists and assessment tools. A professional development video for one chapter is provided.
