Hello Colleagues, Welcome back to the NEACT list! I thought we should try to get this word out ASAP, so am sending along a recent communication from Kathy Siok and Jim Cherry. Jim Cherry, program chair, invites all to please share your inquiry-based activities: * * ** * * * 2005 NEACT 67th Summer Conference August 1 through 4 Central Connecticut State University New Britain, Connecticut. ³Teaching Chemistry Using Inquiry Approaches². There will be opportunities for participants to work in the lab and to design new activities, view demonstrations and discuss units of study. It is our hope that everyone attending this conference will gain a deeper understanding of the nature of scientific inquiry and leave with many new ideas and lab activities. Since this year¹s conference will focus on teaching and learning, we want it to be a time to share ideas to make classrooms more exciting and engaging for our students. We invite each participant to bring favorite inquiry activities to share. We also invite you to host a poster session or run a workshop. Please contact Jim Cherry, program chair, as soon as possible if you want to be involved in some way. (jamesdcherry@xxxxxxxxxxx or 860-295-1241) * * * * * * * Thanks for passing the word, or considering contributing. There is more information on the NEACT website [www.neact.org].
