  1. Welcome to the Chemistry Summer Science Institute 2009 July 6-17, 2009

  2. Goals of CSSI • Inquire • Understand important concepts in chemistry • Develop science process skills • Develop inquiry-based lessons • Network and build science learning communities

  3. Inquiry • Observing • Challenging existing understandings • Being open to new ideas • Experimenting and gathering evidence that supports the ideas

  4. Some Misconceptions in Chemistry • Matter can be destroyed in reactions like burning. • Air isn’t matter. • Hot things are heavier than cold things.

  5. What is a Misconception? • Incorrect understanding of term or process • Not merely a misfact • Can be taught to you or you can come to it based on your personal experience • Highly resistant to change

  6. Lesson Design – The 5 E’s • Engagement • Exploration • Explanation • Extension • Evaluation

  7. Science Process Skills - Basic • Observing • Measuring • Classifying • Communicating • Inferring • Predicting

  8. Science Process Skills- Integrated • Controlling Variables • Defining Operationally • Formulating Hypotheses • Interpreting Data • Experimenting • Formulating Models
