  2. Crystals for the ClassroomBridging undergraduate STEM education and the frontiers of researchhttp://crystals.llnl.gov • A modular collection of teaching-learning tools for undergraduate chemistry courses that can be adapted to teach various Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) topics and concepts

  3. Crystals for the Classroomhttp://crystals.llnl.gov • Chemistry lessons are embedded in the story of the National Ignition Facility (NIF)http://crystals.llnl.gov/nif-kdp-frameset.html • Learning activities were developed relative to the context of the research and science behind NIF.

  4. Crystals for the Classroomhttp://crystals.llnl.gov • Web based, distributed freely • Activities provide a diverse collection that support a wide variety of learning and teaching styles: http://ep.llnl.gov/msds/Chem120/learning.html • Fundamentally aimed at a student seeing-hearing-doing

  5. Instructor - StudentActivities, Exercises & Resourceshttp://crystals.llnl.gov Seeing: • Background Reading • Powerpoint Presentations • Visualizations: Time lapsed Growth

  6. Instructor - StudentActivities, Exercises & Resourceshttp://crystals.llnl.gov Seeing: • Powerpoint Presentations • Visualizations: Time lapsed Growth • Simulations: Fusion - Fission

  7. Instructor - StudentActivities, Exercises & Resourceshttp://crystals.llnl.gov • Seeing - Hearing - Doing • Powerpoint Presentations • Visualizations: Time lapsed Growth • Simulations: Fusion - Fission • Hearing: President Truman’s Announcement of the Atom Bomb • Numerical and Graphical Problems • Student Worksheets • Glossary • Debate on Nuclear Energy • Writing Exercises • Interpreting Research Data • Experimentation • Peer Led Team Learning (PLTL) Workshops
