Chemistry is often a difficult class for students because concepts need to be understood on three different level: macroscopic, symbolic and molecular. Performing experiments allows student to experience the macroscopic perspective. Collecting and analyzing the data can help<br/>facilitate the connection of the macroscopic and symbolic representations. Visualization tools, such as animations, simulations and even student generated movies, can help students understand science concepts from a molecular perspective. Activities that include data<br/>collection and analysis with molecular visualization can lead to a truly powerful educational experience.<br/><br/>Join me for this session to see how the combination of data collection and molecular visualization tools can connect levels of representation and lead to meaningful student learning.
