No more dozing off into the blue haze during PowerPoint lectures! General Chemistry students are learning the art of problem solving through a series of hands-on activity sessions scheduled during Chemistry “lecture” throughout the semester. During these periods, students break-up into groups of four where they work together on a chemistry-based activity designed to strengthen their problem-solving skills.
Figure 1. Students discuss how to determine the concentration of a reactant seconds after the reaction begins using a model reaction and experimental data.
