Chemistry can easily be applied to ideas surrounding mobility and transportation. Types and efficient production of alternative fuels like biofuels, ethanol and fuel cells are being tested. New materials are being designed to encourage environmentally and economically sound solutions to our changing structural design requirements. These topics can be integrated and related to concepts that are already present in the high school chemistry curriculum using already available teaching materials, including hands-on activities that use low-cost materials from grocery and hardware stores. The presenters will share �ready to use� resources from the Journal of Chemical Education (JCE) and Chemical Education Xchange (ChemEdX.org) related to the �Chemistry in Motion� theme. Participants will experience an activity related to the theme and be introduced to a variety of activities related to production of alternative fuels, fuel-cells, materials science and more.
