Peter,
Thanks for shareing this for our "toolkits".
It teaches through storytelling.
Most people like to hear stories,....but run away from lectures.
Oral tradition was how we were taught since the time of our earliest ancestors.
We can accurately remember a song, a bit of gossip, a joke, and stories for
many years thereafter even when hearing them only once.
For over 35 years, I will tell the story of Archemdies, and him running naked
down the street, and shouting Eureka!,.....in order to teach bouyancy, density,
displacemnt, sp.gr., etc.
Many years later these former students would tell me that these stories helped
them get their Doctorates degrees in the fields of Science.
Best regards,
Ted.

Colleagues,
I just saw this on the NSTA Chemistry listserv and thought that many of you
would find some ways to tuck it into your teaching toolkits.
Best,
Peter

A short time ago, someone posted an article (I believe it was from the Journal
of Chemical Education) that talked about all the different ways that chemistry
is used in daily society. Does anyone still have a copy of that post? (I
meant to save it, but it disappeared somewhere in the chasm that is my inbox).
There was also a similar physics article posted. Thanks for any assistance you
can provide!
