EnviroChemLibrary: Resources for Teaching and Learning in Science

环境化学已被证明是激发大学生和高中生对科学兴趣的有效工具。然而，它主要是在化学系以外的院系教授的，少数几个有美国化学会认证的环境化学选择的化学系通常只提供一门环境化学课程，而且有几个院系没有任何活跃的环境化学家在教职员中进行研究。环境化学图书馆项目的原型提供了由环境化学研究界、非化学系和化学系的教学学院、化学教育和工业开发的资源示例。这些材料包括环境化学的实验和演示、案例研究、数据集、教科书评论和模拟程序。这些材料根据学生的水平和预期的使用类型进行分类。网站上的可用资源会根据所使用的教学方法进行评估。传播是该项目的一个关键组成部分，其中包括与环境化学司和化学教育司协调在ACS国家会议上举办的讲习班。由环境化学家和化学教育家组成的评估委员会协助规划和执行该项目。

Chemistry (12)Environmental chemistry has proven to be an effective vehicle for exciting the interest of students in science at the undergraduate and high school level. However, it has been taught mostly in departments other than chemistry, and the few chemistry departments that have the environmental chemistry option certified by the American Chemical Society generally do not offer more than one environmental chemistry course, and several of the departments do not have any active environmental chemists conducting research on the faculty.The prototype EnviroChem Library project provides examples of the resources developed by the environmental chemistry research community, teaching faculties in non-chemistry and chemistry departments, chemical education, and by industry. The materials include such items as experiments and demonstrations of environmental chemistry, case studies, data sets, textbook reviews, and simulation programs. The materials are classified for the level of student, and the type of use anticipated. The resources available on the Internet site are evaluated for the pedagogy that is used. Dissemination is a key component of the project, and includes workshops coordinated with the Environmental Chemistry and Chemical Education Divisions conducted at the national ACS meetings. An evaluation committee composed of environmental chemists and chemical educators assists in the planning and execution of the project.
