Free High School Chemistry Resource from ACS

[Guest Adam Boyd]

Hi, I'm Adam Boyd, I work at the American Chemical Society, specifically in the Education Division, which developed inquiryinaction.org and middleschoolchemistry.com.

I hope it's OK to do so, but I just wanted to mention that we finished a free online resource for teaching high school chemistry that uses lab investigations, student reading, demos, and multimedia to teach the big ideas about energy.

As always, all of the content is available for free at highschoolenergy.acs.org.  I hope this is helpful for a few people!

Adam, thank you for the link. I know that the ACS middle school program has been the topic of a lot of conversations on our middle school board. We greatly appreciate the resource.

You're the bees' knees!!!  So glad you posted this!  You're welcome here any time!  :D

This looks great - thanks, Adam and the ACS!

 

One small caveat - this program and the resources are meant to supplement a teacher's existing curriculum.  There isn't enough information in the PDF alone for the student to complete the labs and analysis - the program supposes that there is another source of information for the student (knowledgeable teacher or parent, good text, etc.).

 

I just didn't want anyone to think that it was a stand-alone program and then be disappointed when it didn't work out that way. :)

Thanks. It looks great! I will use it as a supplement to other things I teach for chemistry.

I wondered about this when I glanced at the page, but I didn't have time to dig in.  Thanks for clarifying!
