Virtual Desktops and blogging

Submitted by bronstein on Sat, 08/02/2008 - 4:15pm

First, we had discussed "moving away from the use of textbooks." Along those lines in one of the newsletters I receive there was this special report. Here's the title:

I believe that Wil's Papermaking Activity would fit in very well with my elementary school students. Actually, teachers could create a unit that incorporates several subjects (such as science, reading, writing, social studies, and math) so that we'd be teaching across the curriculum.

Finally -- a lab activity for my chem class

After doing the DNA extraction activity (which I initially thought would be totally useless to me), I found enough in it to make it very useful as a lab during the chapter on mixtures and solutions.  I can use it to illustrate "like dissolves like", polarity, ion attraction and repulsion, the terms hydrophilic and hydrophobic, and model building.
