Science instruction has often been criticized forinaccurately portraying the practice of science. In other words, the practiceof science is not entirely congruent with the instruction of science. Our workaims at capturing the problem-solving experiences of practicing organicchemists and translating those experiences into college-level instructionalmaterials. Results of this study will include the nature of organic chemistryproblems in the research laboratory and how this data can be used to developinstructional materials.
