Chem101 is a web and mobile app-based platform that enables instructors to integrate chemistry-specific active learning exercises into lecture, homework, and/or extra practice for “advanced” high school chemistry courses. The platform offers novel answer modules that help students tackle dimensional analysis, Lewis structures, nomenclature, equilibrium, chemical equations, and other important chemistry topics. <br/> <br/>In this talk, a comprehensive overview of the Chem101 platform will be provided with a specific focus on how it can benefit courses such as AP Chemistry, Honors Chemistry, or other “advanced” chemistry courses at the high school level. The presentation will be divided into three parts. In the first part, we will discuss and demonstrate Chem101’s answer modules such as drag-and-drop dimensional analysis, Lewis structure drawing, and smart suggestion nomenclature/equations. In the second part, we will focus on how Chem101 can foster student engagement in the classroom with real-time activities, think-pair-share, and attendance. Members of the audience will be supplied with iPads to experience in-class activities, modules, and feedback from a student perspective. In the third and final part, we will demonstrate how instructors can take advantage of Chem101’s 3,500+ question bank to create homework assignments, online quizzes, and extra practice activities for students. Throughout the presentation, we will discuss how to manage your classroom, track student progress, and view grades using Chem101’s instructor dashboard.
