My Project

COVID-19 took a toll on students' ability to effectively organize and document their journey of learning. When students were learning from home, they often had no need to organize their work - assignments were completed in a hodge-podge manner making it difficult to refer back to earlier lessons. In my chemistry classroom, I require students to maintain an interactive chemistry notebook. This allows students to easily organize their work, allowing them a "one-stop shop" for reviewing complex concepts and for referring back to earlier lessons. Organization is a key to success in chemistry!
