Teaching chemistry is underrated. Last week I gave the students house hold acids and bases and had them compete to see who could make the stongest pH buffer. The competition inspired them to work harder and hopefully learn more. Not to mention the assignment allowed me to channel my inner Snape. #chemistry #STEM

Planning on retaking chemistry and Ochem...looking forward to learning

I took Chem about 17 years ago, and it has been really fun to teach. The amazing thing now is all the resources youtube and how you can use AI as a tutor to create practice problems and test your conceptual understanding. My favorite youtube channel is called "Chad's prep". I assign videos from there for my students. I would post a link, but I dont know how to post a tracking free YouTube link.

Thanks! I will check it out!

This is awesome!

but gotta make sure the students know not to touch the gloves to their faces... They should assume that gloves in a chem lab could be contaminated with hazardous material.

Yep! Thanks for that.

We talked about gloves in the safety section lessons at the start of term, but this was actually the first lab we were able to purchase gloves for.
