Based on a True Story: Using Movies as Source Material for General Chemistry Reports
Griep, Mark A.; Mikasen, Marjorie L.
Journal of Chemical Education, v82 n10 p1501-1503 Oct 2005
The story to improve student enthusiasm for writing reports about the chemistry behind events reported in the news and movies were chosen as the source material. The use of movies in the chemical classroom helps an instructor move the subject of chemistry from abstract, general themes to the personal and subjective arena of human interactions.
