What Works Clearinghouse Rating
Peer reviewedSteiner, Robert L. – School Science and Mathematics, 1976
Provides methods by which one may include historical aspects of the growth and development of chemistry into a secondary school curriculum. Includes a selected bibliography of materials related to the history of chemistry. (CP)
Descriptors: Chemistry, Curriculum Development, Enrichment Activities, Humanistic Education
Peer reviewedSears, Jerry A. – School Science and Mathematics, 1976
Outlines an experimental procedure in which an iodine radioisotope is used to determine molar combining ratios of lead and silver with the iodine. Tables and graphs show the definitive results that should be attainable. (CP)
Descriptors: Chemical Reactions, Chemistry, Instructional Materials, Laboratory Experiments
Peer reviewedKrajcik, Joseph S.; Haney, Richard E. – School Science and Mathematics, 1987
Discusses a study that examined which reasoning patterns are necessary for success in high school chemistry. Based on student (N=170) scores from the "Classroom Test of Formal Reasoning," it was revealed that students who use formal reasoning patterns are capable of greater achievement in chemistry. (ML)

Peer reviewedWalker, Noojin – School Science and Mathematics, 1977
Methods for determining the radius of an atom are described. Unlike a previous article which approached the problem from an elementary perspective, this article examines a progression of increasingly sophisticated determinations. (CS)
Descriptors: Atomic Structure, Chemistry, College Science, Higher Education
Peer reviewedAlick, Bonita; Atwater, Mary M. – School Science and Mathematics, 1988
Discusses problem-solving strategies and the successful strategy used to solve stoichiometric problems in general college chemistry courses. Reports that rereading problems, recalling a related concept, and reasoning deductively/inductively are the most heavily used strategies among 13 categories. (YP)

Peer reviewedChiang-Soong, Betty; Yager, Robert E. – School Science and Mathematics, 1993
Evaluated and compared 12 science textbooks with respect to their readability levels and agreement with the intended reader level. Four of the books were determined to be unsatisfactory for their intended grade levels. (20 references) (MDH)
Descriptors: Biology, Chemistry, Content Area Reading, General Science
Peer reviewedFoster, Brian C.; And Others – School Science and Mathematics, 1991
Described is how the construction of a breathalyzer was used by high school students to focus on a variety of concepts and principles of science and mathematics. The procedure for constructing the breathalyzer, related material, and summary are included. (KR)
Descriptors: Chemistry, Interdisciplinary Approach, Laboratory Procedures, Mathematics Education
Peer reviewedHand, Brian; Treagust, David F. – School Science and Mathematics, 1991
Discussed is an approach to learning in which students are given the opportunity to discuss and rationalize the conflict between the students' existing misconceptions and the phenomenon to be studied. Curriculum materials for a unit on acids and bases were developed using this strategy. (KR)
Descriptors: Chemistry, Curriculum Development, Curriculum Evaluation, Misconceptions
