An Inquiry/Technology Based Approach to Introductory Chemistry
Computer-Based Concept Development Resources:These are computer-based
resources that allow students to generate data from which a chemistry concept
can be invented, or to explore the application of the concept. These resources
will allow students to explore chemical concepts at the macroscopic, submicroscopic
and symbolic levels, and to analyze and interpret data in a virtual laboratory.
Accompanying the resources would be an Activity Manual(s) that would direct
student inquires into chemical phenomena and contain their observations and
responses to questions. These inquires could be used as pre-lecture, during
lecture, or post-lecture activities.
