Take your Modeling Instruction™ practice into Advanced Chemistry!
This five-week distance learning workshop is for teachers of AP Chemistry, honors or second-year high school chemistry, and introductory college chemistry. It shows how to apply Modeling Instruction™ to the most conceptually demanding topics in the curriculum while keeping the rigor and coherence the method is known for.
Participants will work through advanced Modeling Chemistry units in periodic trends, intermolecular forces, and chemical equilibrium, along with either kinetics or temperature and thermal energy.
These topics align closely with core content in the AP Chemistry curriculum giving you materials and strategies you can use to support student success on the AP exam and beyond.
Participants will experience the Modeling cycle as learners, engaging in guided inquiry, whiteboarding, and collaborative sense-making, and will then examine how to adapt each unit for their own classrooms.
