| Description: |
The High School Chemistry PDA as developed and directed by Dr. Tom Hsu uses the ideas of atoms, energy, and systems that unify physics, chemistry, earth science and biology. The goal is to provide students with a useful knowledge of chemistry that can help them succeed in life and in any career, (not only as a scientist.) The five-E model provides a well-tested structure for the program’s pedagogy. Concepts will progress from a hands-on observation in the lab (engage, explore), to conceptual understanding of what happened (explain, elaborate), and finally to rigorous quantitative analysis (evaluate).
