Methods of Teaching General Chemistry and SAT II Chemistry for Novice Instructors Course 3 Presenter David Baruch - Chemistry teacher at Carmel High School in Carmel, New York
David has 12 years of teaching experience and has taught Regents, Non-Regents, Chem Comm, Honors and AP Chemistry. David has also been a research industry chemist and has worked for Eastman Kodak, Xerox and Ciba-Geigy.
This program is designed for teachers who have less than six years of teaching experience. The goals of the program are to provide the following:
The program consists of Four Saturday Workshops totaling 30 hours of training. Each Saturday will be focused to specific areas of the chemistry curriculum. Available as 30 hour in-service over four-day workshop (You may also opt to take these as individual classes). Novice and potential Chemistry teachers can all benefit from this program. Please feel free to enroll whether you were in the course last year or are joining it this year. Participants will engage in laboratory activities in addition to the schedule of lectures and discussions. Early enrollment is strongly advised after last year’s large turnout. Topics to be covered will include: November 18th, 2006– Using the Internet in a Curriculum Sequence This class will focus on Web Site usage and Internet resources. Many animations and Simulations will be presented, along with related demonstrations, and Internet based lab activities. December 2nd, 2006 – Phases of Matter and Energy Diagrams This class will focus on the complexities of the phase change diagram and how it relates to both matter and energy scenarios and exam questions. Laboratory experiments will be done related these concepts, as well as appropriate demonstrations. March 3rd , 2007– Electrochemistry and Electrolysis This class will focus on both Voltaic and Electrolytic sells and how they relate to Redox problems. Discussion of exam questions and theory will also be included. Laboratory experiments will be done related these concepts, as well as appropriate demonstrations. April 14th, 2007 -Kinetics and Equilibrium This class will focus on the complexities of Kinetics and Equilibrium units at the Regents and Honors levels of chemistry. Laboratory experiments will be done related these concepts, as well as appropriate demonstrations. The laboratory program will include lab simulations, Heat of Vaporization experiments, Electrochemical and Electrolytic experiments, Rates of Reaction, and Le Chatelier’s Principle labs. We will include discussion of experimental work and demonstrations to support each concept. Date: Saturday , November 18th 2006, December 2nd 2006, March 3rd 2007 and April 14th 2007 Time : 8:30 AM-4:00 PM Cost: $495.00 ( includes Breakfast and Lunch) Place: Science Wing, Ossining High School, Ossining, New York Sponsored by: PWISTA Credit : A 30-hour certificate toward in-service credit will be issued for use according to your school district’s policy.
