Middle School Chemistry from the ACS
An excellent resource was brought to my attention. It seems that the Office of K-8 Science at the American Chemical Society has created a similar resource to that available through DISCUS. Middle School Chemistry features a whole course full of 5E middle school level chemistry lesson plans, as well as a range of multimedia resources. We all need to work together to increase scientific literacy in the United States. This will only be done by using best teaching practices to reach the broadest range of students possible. Kudos to ACS for their contribution in this regard. And thanks to Elisa Rice at U.T. Arlington for bringing this great site to our attention.
