Donaghy, Kelley J.; Saxton, Kathleen J. – Journal of Chemical Education, 2012
A three-step active-learning approach is described to enhance the spatial abilities of general chemistry students with respect to three-dimensional molecular drawing and visualization. These activities are used in a medium-sized lecture hall with approximately 150 students in the first semester of the general chemistry course. The first activity…

Furio, C.; Calatayud, M. L.; Barcenas, S. L.; Padilla, O. M. – Science Education, 2000
Focuses on learning difficulties in procedural knowledge, and assesses the procedural difficulties of grade 12 and first- and third-year university students based on common sense reasoning in two areas of chemistry--chemical equilibrium and geometry, and polarity of molecules. (Contains 55 references.) (Author/YDS)
