Workshop: A Natural Approach to Chemistry/ Electrochemical Cells and the Battery /One in a Million

In this workshop we will explore how to teach core chemistry concepts using a new chemistry program, A Natural Approach to Chemistry. A Natural Approach to Chemistry is an integrated program that uses hands-on activities and laboratory investigation as the central focus. This workshop will use inquiry based laboratory investigations that teach the relationship between electrons, electricity, and chemistry. How do chemicals store energy? Each group will investigate the various parts of the lemon battery and the galvanic cell, then we will discuss the related chemical reactions, and how batteries obtain energy from chemicals.

Look What Teachers
Are Saying...

I have been teaching middle school science for seven years in the city of Buffalo. I had my first experience with SEPUP as a pre-service teacher. I have been hooked ever since! SEPUP modules present me with a hands-on curriculum that allows my students to work on real world problems. SEPUP saves me a lot of time because I do not have to design experiments for my students to do from scratch. I can add on and adapt the SEPUP curriculum to meet my needs. SEPUP has also given me many professional development opportunities by allowing me to pilot new modules. I am still hoping that I will get the chance to get the SALI modules for my seventh graders. Keep up the good work!
