以下是我从美国化学会儿童与化学项目经理那里收到的一封电子邮件。我在这里重新发布,以广而告之。如果你认识任何可能从这个项目中受益的化学老师,请将相关信息转发给他们。

在美国国家科学基金会和美国国立卫生研究院的资助下,美国化学会开发了一个科学活动工具包,供教师与其学生一起使用。这个工具包名为 化学:探索你的世界,将邮寄给申请并符合以下条件的教师:

•               他们计划至少与十二名四至八年级的学生一起使用该工具包。

你认识应该知道这个免费化学工具包的老师吗?

如果是,请转发以下信息。

索取一个免费的科学活动工具包,以庆祝2011国际化学年!

虽然现在是2012年,但 化学:探索你的世界 工具包仍然可用。该工具包设计了足够的材料,可供多个班级12至32名学生使用,以4人为一组进行活动。这些活动的难度、阅读水平和内容适合四至八年级的学生。

在 www.acs.org/iyckit 申请工具包。

使用工具包中的课程,学生将观看演示并进行动手活动,同时研究化学变化的线索,包括:

·         产生气体

·         形成沉淀物

·         颜色变化

·         温度变化

查看这四个课程,了解如何通过结识世界各地的科学家、研究化学变化的线索以及现实生活中的应用,使学习化学变得相关且有趣。然后务必尽快申请您的免费工具包。数量有限!

"Life creates [the Force], makes it grow. Its energy surrounds us and binds us. Luminous beings are we, not this crude matter," Yoda explains in The Empire Strikes Back, gesturing to Luke's physical body. This quote is striking because of the apt juxtaposition of the wonder of life with its often disgusting vessel. Like many other animals, we secrete, excrete, expectorate, defecate, flatulate, regurgitate, urinate, circulate, masticate, menstruate, ejaculate, and ventilate. We are filled with gas and feces and blood and guts and mucus and any number of rude things. Life as we know it is possible because of the countless impolite things we do every day. Are we luminous beings? Perhaps, but that's neither here nor there. This blog is about the crude matter that keeps us alive.
