For my final project in COETAIL I decided to make a series of videos to assist my students in preparing for our final Chemistry test. For a variety of reasons it was an experience that will stay with me for the unforeseen future. I look forward to sharing the good, the bad and the ugly with you [...]

On those days that I spin a tale and tell a story woven through with the facts of science, I do see a marked increase in attention and interest. [...]
During our recent study of chemistry, I had my eighth grade students create a comic strip of a rather complicated experimental method. They drew this comic strip across the white board at the front of the room. Each class contributed a section of the comic, and also improved on sections previously created. By the end [...]
The Law of Conservation of Mass simply states that matter cannot be created or destroyed in a chemical reaction. What goes in must equal what comes out. I went on a search to find images to support this scientific law. The top contenders are shown below.
