Roseman, Jo Ellen; Koppal, Mary – Educational Leadership, 2015
When state leaders and national partners in the development of the Next Generation Science Standards met to consider implementation strategies, states and school districts wanted to know which materials were aligned to the new standards. The answer from the developers was short but not sweet: You won't find much now, and it's going to…

Andraos, John – Journal of Chemical Education, 2015
This paper presents a simplified approach for the application of material efficiency metrics to linear and convergent synthesis plans encountered in organic synthesis courses. Computations are facilitated and automated using intuitively designed Microsoft Excel spreadsheets without invoking abstract mathematical formulas. The merits of this…

Putti, Alice – Science Teacher, 2012
This guided inquiry activity was developed to help students "view" an equilibrium system from the particulate level and make connections to their macroscopic observations. Part I helps students observe a physical equilibrium system in which water is transferred between two larger containers. In Part II, students examine what happens to a chemical…

Moran, Paloma; Galindo, Juan – Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, 2011
We report a practical home-made microcentrifuge to be used for teaching purposes. It was made using a salad spinner and two polymerase chain reaction (PCR) tubes racks. It can accommodate 2 standard size 96-well plates or 24 strips or up to 192 microfuge tube. The centrifuge is hand-operated and is ideal for short spin down purposes. (Contains 3…

Dasbach, Joseph M. – 1968
Discussed are two studies undertaken by the Commission: The Cost of Material Study and The Science-Mathematics S"udy. Early plans in The Cost of Material Study were to specifically tabulate costs of introducing and maintaining each of eight "new" science courses in elementary and junior high schools. This was abandoned in favor of…
