Chemistry and the Environment Collaboration Hans Dahlkvist | added on Dec 03, 2009 Come together and compare ecological essential or toxic inorganic and organic substances.
|Topic:||competition, workshops||Audience:||tertiary education, educators, general public, professional chemists, post graduate students|
Systemic Approach In Teaching and Learning Chemistry (SATLC) Suggestion M. Akhyar Farrukh | added on Dec 01, 2009 Systemic approach is the arrangement and recognition of concepts i.e. how one concept or issue is related and linked with other concepts or issues in a system while teaching and learning chemistry. Systemic approach is a structured way while linear approach is un-structured way for delivering knowledge.
|Topic:||hands-on activities, training, workshops, conferences, classrooms||Audience:||students, educators, teachers, professional chemists, universities, general public|
Small Scale Chemistry Suggestion Julia Hasler | added on Nov 30, 2009 This UNESCO project introduces teachers, inspectors, and education officials to the advantage of performing chemistry experiments on a small scale. Introductory workshops to this hands-on chemistry methodology promote putting experimentation back into science education.
|Topic:||hands-on activities, teaching resources||Audience:||teachers, educators|
Safety Training Program Collaboration Mark Cesa | added on Nov 30, 2009 The chemical industry in the developed world is increasing its emphasis on corporate responsibility and accountability. Education of line management in industrial safety has become a priority and hazard and operability studies (HAZOPS) are a regular part of risk reduction efforts in chemical production.
|Topic:||industrial safety, hazard and operability studies (hazops), risk reduction||Audience:||industrial chemists, post graduate students|
Young Ambassadors for Chemistry Discussion Lida Schoen | added on Nov 30, 2009 The YAC project intends to train teachers to help students communicate the benefits of chemistry. One aim of a YAC event is to popularize and raise public awareness of chemistry by encouraging young students to act as ambassadors for chemistry. If you know of a similar program, I would love to learn about it.
