CHED 1 Why Do We Need Green Chemistry in the Classroom? CHED 1 Why do we need green chemistry in the classroom? Edward Brush1, [email protected], Kate Anderson2, [email protected]. (1) Department of Chemistry, Bridgewater State University, Bridgewater, MA, United States (2) Beyond Benign, Wilmington, MA, United States As the number of chemicals of concern continues to rise the need for solution based green chemistry has never been more necessary than it is today. Green chemistry helps prepare students to engage with their world while connecting chemistry, human health and the environment. Connect core chemistry concepts by using real-world examples of innovation. Learn how green chemistry can be integrated into the high school classroom. CHED 2 Exploring the 2012 ACS Guidelines and Recommendations for Teaching High School Chemistry Deborah Cook, [email protected], Carolyn Rulli, [email protected], Brian Kennedy, [email protected] of High School Chemistry, American Chemical Society, Washington, DC, United States The ACS Guidelines and Recommendations for Teaching High School Chemistry have been significantly revised and are now available for high school chemistry teachers and administrators. Featuring strategies and considerations for teaching high school chemistry in the 21st century to all students, the document is designed to serve as a useful resource for strengthening high school chemistry programs. This symposium has two aims: to communicate the key messages of the document and to explore how high school chemistry teachers and administration can use the guidelines to enhance program activities and leverage for resources. Copies of the ACS Guidelines and Recommendations for Teaching High School Chemistry will be available. CHED 3 Products of the Target Inquiry project: Quality inquiry materials made for and by high school teachers that stand up to student scrutiny Ellen J. Yezierski1, [email protected], Deborah G. Herrington2. (1) Department of Chemistry & Biochemistry, Miami University, Oxford, Ohio 45056, United States (2) Department of Chemistry, Grand Valley State University, Allendale, Michigan 49401, United States The National Science Education Standards, many state science standards, and the newly released Conceptual Framework for New Science Education Standards, call on teachers to develop inquiry-based science programs. Designing such a program can be a daunting task. Three cohorts of high school chemistry teachers have completed a long-term professional development program known as Target Inquiry (TI) at Grand Valley State University. One important product of TI is a peer-reviewed collection of inquiry-based activities for high school chemistry teachers including research-based guides for students and teachers. Not only are these activities teacher-designed and teacher-tested, they have also been edited by chemistry faculty and revised based on feedback from hundreds of teachers who used the activities with more than 30,000 students around the world. An overview of the activities, several specific examples, and instructions to access them will be presented. CHED 4 Health and medicine from a green perspective: Ready-to-use resources from the Journal of Chemical Education Laura Slocum2, [email protected], Hillary Wilmoth1, [email protected], Deanna Cullen1, Greg Rushton3. (1) Journal of Chemical Education, United States (2) University High School of Indiana, Carmel, IN 46032, United States (3) Department of Chemistry & Biochemistry, Kennesaw State University, Kennesaw, GA 30144, United States Chemistry is a part of every aspect of health and medicine. However, we do not always think about approaching them in a “green” way. However, the pharmaceutical industry is certainly using greener methods to syntheses many of the medicines they make for use. This presentation will focus on the chemistry of health and medicine – keeping them both “green” – and how it can be integrated into the curriculum using already available teaching materials, including hands-on activities that use low-cost materials from grocery and hardware stores. Presenters will share several ready-to-use resources from the Journal of Chemical Education (JCE) related to the meeting's theme “Chemistry of Health and Medicine” and how we can keep it green. These give educators an opportunity to make stronger connections for their students between the chemical world and the students' "real" world. As time permits, participants will try out a hands-on JCE Classroom Activity related to the theme. CHED 5 JMU ChemDemo: Lowering the activation energy to do chemistry demonstrations Casey Rogers, [email protected], Kevin L. Caran, [email protected] of Chemistry and Biochemistry, James Madison University, Harrisonburg, VA 22807, United States The James Madison University ChemDemo project provides resources for educators interested in using chemistry demonstrations in a variety of venues. Specifically, the program targets college professors, college students and K-12 teachers, largely within the state of Virginia. A website was developed that catalogs over 50 demonstrations, correlated to VA standards of learning (SOLs), including procedures in downloadable and editable formats. In addition the website has lesson plans and problem sets corresponding to selected demos. Annual chemistry demonstration workshops for high school teachers have been held since 2010. The workshops integrate hands- on demonstration instruction, presentations on the value of demonstrations, and opportunities to discuss these activities with other educators. Demonstration videos, including several that require dry ice or liquid nitrogen, were recorded and produced in collaboration with JMU's Center for Instructional Technology. These videos are distributed via YouTube, the ChemDemo website, and DVD. http://sites.jmu.edu/chemdemo/ CHED 6 Fun and chemistry? Yes, they go together! Todd Smeltz1, [email protected], Karen M. Kaleuati2. (1) ACS ChemClub, Upper Dauphin Area High School, Elizabethville, PA 17023, United States (2) American Chemical Society, Washington, DC 20036, United States Students can learn about drug testing, urinalysis, and kidney dialysis, while having fun in an after- school chemistry club. The ACS ChemClub provides fun, authentic, and hands-on opportunities to experience chemistry beyond the classroom. ACS provides many valuable resources for this program, but teachers take the resources and transform them into fun and inspiring activities for their students. Participants will hear from a high school teacher and his students on how the ACS ChemClub program has increased students' interests in chemistry and learn about ACS resources available to all teachers willing to start a ChemClub in their schools. CHED 7 Web-based simulation engine for 2D interactive simulations of molecular systems Colin A Ashe1, [email protected], David J Yaron1, Michael Karabinos1, Laura Bartolo2, John Portman3, W. Craig Carter4, Donald Sadoway4.

To aid students in developing the intuitions needed to make these connections, we have developed a web-based computational engine for simplified two- dimensional simulations of atoms and molecules. The simulation engine is optimized to give results that well represent the nature of motion and interactions at the atomic scale, as opposed to precise integration of the molecular dynamics. This allows students to controlvarious system parameters and observe the effect of their changes on the visualized atoms, as well as attach charts that provide measurements of important system quantities. The software is modular to allow easy construction of simulations. In this talk, we will highlight the capabilities of our system in general and provide specific examples of simulations created to teach a broad range of concepts like osmotic pressure, interatomic potential energy, and heat transfer. CHED 8 Making their own visualizations: Introducing students to the techniques and applications of biomolecular simulations Daniel A. Barr, [email protected] of Chemistry and Biochemistry, Utica College, Utica, NY 13502, United States The pedagogical advantages of visualizations (including animations and simulations) in the chemistry classroom are well-established. Most publishing companies now offer online animations and visualizations to accompany their printed chemistry textbooks and many instructors are becoming familiar with strategies for designing and implementing their own visual aids in their teaching. At Utica College, we are incorporating biomolecular simulation techniques into the biochemistry curriculum that allow students to both visualize and manipulate biomolecules on an atomic scale. By developing their own simulations, students simultaneous learn important principles of physical biochemistry as well as leading-edge research techniques in computational biochemistry. Examples and outcomes of student experiments with biomolecular simulations will be presented.

  • Natural and Synthetic Polymers: the Preparation of Nylon 3
    Natural and Synthetic Polymers: The Preparation of Nylon 3 OBJECTIVES 1. To learn some distinctions between natural and synthetic polymers. 2. To examine the monomers of two common fibers. 3. To become familiar with some of the physical and chemical properties of two common polymers. 4. To prepare the important polymer nylon. PRELABORATORY QUESTIONS 1. Explain why the nylons are called polyamides. 2. Draw the structures of adipic acid and its acid chloride. 3. Write equations for the reactions of benzoic acid and of benzoyl chloride, the acid chloride of benzoic acid, with n-propylamine to give an amide. Name the amide. In today's experiment, why will you synthesize nylon from an acid chloride rather than from a carboxylic acid? 4. Draw the structure of cellulose. Identify the acetal bonds, and circle monomer units. 5. On what basis is cellulose classified as a condensation polymer? 6. Write an equation for the hydrolysis of the following acetal in acidic solution. 7. A segment of a polymer molecule is shown below. Draw the structure of the monomer from which the polymer was synthesized. Is this an addition or a condensation polymer? DISCUSSION Nylon and cellulose are common polymers which make numerous contributions to our everyday lives. Nylon is a synthetic polymer. Cellulose occurs abundantly in nature as the main structural material of most plant tissues. Cotton is nearly pure cellulose. Both nylon and cotton are used in fabrics for clothing. Solid items such as gears, combs, and knobs are molded from nylon. Cellulose is converted into cellulose acetates, rayon, and other important fibers and films.

  • POLYMERS Mega Molecules out of Small Ones
    Back POLYMERS Mega molecules Out of Small Ones Recommended grades level(s) 11-12 Time Duration: - 50 minutes Objective(s): The learner will produce a linear and a cross-linked polyester. The learner will compare properties of the two polyesters. The learner will prepare a take-home viscosity demonstration. The learner will prepare a nylon rope and calculate its length. The learner will distinguish from an equation whether a polymer is mono- or copolymer. Materials and/or Resources: 2 watch glasses Aluminum foil Concentrated sulfuric acid 2 test tubes Ring stand Phthalic anhydride Sodium acetate Glycerol Ethylene glycol Hot plate Piece of polyester Disposable test tube Stoppers Paper clips Solution of hexamethylenediamine Distilled water Large beaker Tweezers Ethanol Background Information: Polymers are large molecules produced by the combination of many small molecules called monomers. By changing monomers, different polymers can be produced. Scientists are often able to achieve specific properties in polymers by the right choice of monomers. Polymerization reactions are of two types. One type is the addition reaction in which a double bond is each molecule is changed to a single bond as the molecules are joined together. Polyethylene is an example of this type of polymerization reaction. The other type is the condensation reaction in which a small molecule such as water (H2O), ammonia (NH3), or hydrogen chloride (HCl) is produced along with the polymer bond. Polymers are also classed as monopolymers, only one type of monomer molecule, or copolymer, more than one type of monomer molecule. One of the many places that polymers have had a major impact is in synthetic fibers.

  • Exp 9: the Formation of the Wonder Polymer:Nylon, an Amide
    Polymers: How to Make Nylon http://www.miracosta.edu/home/dlr/102exp9.htm Experiment 9 The Formation of the Wonder Polymer: Nylon, an Amide Objectives The objective of this experiment is to see how a polymer, nylon is made. This experiment is referred to as a "Condensation Polymerization Reaction" where smaller components are combined in a specific order to produce the wonder polymer nylon. You will create a form of nylon referred to as Nylon 6-6 (both building-block components contain six carbons. As a contest, your Instructor might give extra points for the group producing the longest continuous piece of nylon. Can you beat 79 feet? Background The word "nylon" is used to represent synthetic polyamides. The various nylons are described by a numbering system that indicates the number of carbon atoms in the monomer chains. Nylons from diamines and dicarboxylic acids are designated by two numbers, the first representing the diamine and the second the dicarboxylic acid. Thus nylon 6-10 is formed by the reaction of hexamethylenediamine and sebacic acid. In this demonstration the acid chloride, sebacyl (or Sebacoyl) chloride, is used instead of sebacic acid. The equation is: Many diamines and diacids (or diacid chlorides) can be reacted to make other condensation products that are described by the generic name "nylon." One such product is an important commercial polyamide, nylon 6-6 (because there are six carbons in both organic compounds), which can be prepared by substituting adipoyl chloride for Sebacoyl chloride in the procedure described here. The equation is: Experimental Procedure Time: About 30-45 minutes of class time.

  • Making Nylon
    Published on ASSIST (https://assist.asta.edu.au) Home > Making Nylon Making Nylon Posted by Anonymous on Mon, 2015-02-16 15:35 Making Nylon: It has now been 14 years since I was in a high school classroom, but in those ‘good old days’ we could do an experiment to make nylon 6,6. I am writing some tasks at the moment but don’t want to include this in my tasks if OH&S regulations now mean this can no longer be done by students. So, can you let me know if it is still an experiment that is acceptable. The experiment involves decanedioyl dichloride in cyclohexane being floated on an aqueous solution of 1,6-diaminohexane. Voting: 0 No votes yet Year Level: Senior Secondary Laboratory Technicians: Laboratory Technicians Showing 1-1 of 1 Responses Making Nylon Submitted by sat on 17 February 2015 Thank you for your question about the safety of preparing nylon. The preparation of nylon is a classic reaction, which has been demonstrated to audiences since the late 1950s.[1,2] The reaction is a reliable one and, although the ingredients are hazardous, the product can be handled safely after washing it to remove any reagents. Science ASSIST recommends that this reaction be carried out as a demonstration only, due to the corrosive and toxic nature of the reagents. The reaction should only be performed in a running fume cupboard and PPE (lab coat, gloves, safety glasses and closed shoes) should be worn throughout the procedure. There may be circumstances where it is safe for senior students to carry out the reaction themselves, such as where the class is small and can be relied on to follow safe practices, and where there is sufficient fume cupboard space.

  • Working with Hazardous Chemicals
    A Publication of Reliable Methods for the Preparation of Organic Compounds Working with Hazardous Chemicals The procedures in Organic Syntheses are intended for use only by persons with proper training in experimental organic chemistry. All hazardous materials should be handled using the standard procedures for work with chemicals described in references such as "Prudent Practices in the Laboratory" (The National Academies Press, Washington, D.C., 2011; the full text can be accessed free of charge at http://www.nap.edu/catalog.php?record_id=12654). All chemical waste should be disposed of in accordance with local regulations. For general guidelines for the management of chemical waste, see Chapter 8 of Prudent Practices. In some articles in Organic Syntheses, chemical-specific hazards are highlighted in red “Caution Notes” within a procedure. It is important to recognize that the absence of a caution note does not imply that no significant hazards are associated with the chemicals involved in that procedure. Prior to performing a reaction, a thorough risk assessment should be carried out that includes a review of the potential hazards associated with each chemical and experimental operation on the scale that is planned for the procedure. Guidelines for carrying out a risk assessment and for analyzing the hazards associated with chemicals can be found in Chapter 4 of Prudent Practices. The procedures described in Organic Syntheses are provided as published and are conducted at one's own risk. Organic Syntheses, Inc., its Editors, and its Board of Directors do not warrant or guarantee the safety of individuals using these procedures and hereby disclaim any liability for any injuries or damages claimed to have resulted from or related in any way to the procedures herein.
