Accessible Research Experiences: A New Paradigm for In-Lab Chemical Education
Baum, Marc M.; Krider, Elizabeth S.; Moss, John A.
Journal of Chemical Education, v83 n12 p1784-1787 Dec 2006
The preliminary efforts to engage students in the physical sciences through research projects in environmental chemistry are described. The successful involvement of two demographics, community college (CC) students and female students in cutting-edge chemistry research suggests that recruiting methods were effective and the feedback from participants suggests that the chemistry projects selected by the students positively affected their career planning.
