1 Website & Workshop: Catalysts for Science Educators Casey Rogers Kevin L. Caran Dept. of Chemistry & Biochemistry

2  Background  ChemDemo Website  Tour of site  Videos  ChemDemo Workshop  Evolution of the workshop (2010-present)  Looking forward  Discussion Overview

3  Long history of chemistry demonstrations @ JMU  Initial motivations for the project  Expanding demonstration capacity in-house  Resource for JMU professors & students Origins

4  Handouts were made for demonstrations used by the student organizations  Led to the idea of having them available online (Spring 2010 – present) History of Project

5  Cataloged demos  Handouts made available online  Target Audience: VA Science Teachers  Handouts made available online  Demos linked via topics and SOLs  Each demo has a Word handout for easy editing and printing  Lesson plans and problem sets for selected demonstrations EXPANDING OUR AUDIENCE

6 E a (no catalyst) = F Potential barriers to using demonstrations: F = Find demo SOL = determine relevance of demos to SOL P = Prep demo L = work into Lesson, develop lesson plan E = finding ways to keep students Engaged E a (with catalyst) = P Energy Before + SOL + P+ L+ E + After E a (no catalyst) E a (with ChemDemo) : The Only Catalyst You’ll Ever Need
