Molecule of the Month

Molecule of the Month
Welcome to the Molecule of the Month page! This is one of the longest running chemistry webpages on the internet. Each month since January 1996 a new molecule has been added to the list on this page. The links will take you to a page at one of the Web sites at a University Chemistry Department or commercial site in the UK, the US, or anywhere in the world, where useful (and hopefully entertaining!), information can be found about a particularly interesting molecule. If you wish to contribute a Molecule of the Month page, just email me the URL and I'll add you to the list at the next opportunity. What do I need to see the pages properly? See here for all the details of software and helper files you require. See here for a list of the awards and citations received by this page and a disclaimer. Above is a drop-down alphabetical list of all the molecules. Buy a book containing many of these molecules! Related:  Science Education

Academic Language - Science Academic language is the language used in instruction, textbooks and exams. Academic language differs in structure and vocabulary from language used in daily social interactions. Academic language includes a (1) common vocabulary used in all disciplines, as well as a (2) technical vocabulary inherent to each individual discipline. Academic English is based more upon Latin and Greek roots than is common spoken English. In addition, academic language features more complex language and precise syntax than common English. " Academic language is the language needed by students to understand and communicate in the academic disciplines. Content Literacy "[Reading] is essential in every content subject, such as history, geography, arithmetic, science, and literature. Content Literacy is the ability to use reading and writing as tools for learning subject matter. Common vocabulary Technical vocabulary Academic Language of Science Includes a wide variety of resources including, but not limited to:

Royal Society of Chemistry, the largest organisation in Europe for advancing the chemical sciences Chapter 4, Ethics in the Science Classroom Case Studies The teaching of ethics is particularly suited to the use of illustrative case studies. Such narratives can be used to present examples of a range of significant ethical issues related to some human enterprise and many of the complexities associated with each of the issues. In our Summer Institute instructional program we used a series of real-life case studies to illustrate several of the key ethical issues related to science. In this chapter we present six such case studies, including five that were used, to good effect, during our Summer Institute instructional program. Each case includes: 1- Introduction.. 2- Background. 3- Case Study. 4- Readings and Resources. 5- The Issues. Categories of Ethics/Values Issues Illustrated by This Case: Issues related to fraud in scientific research and its consequences. 1. Those cases that reach the public's attention can cause considerable distrust among both scientists and the public, however infrequent their occurrence. 2. Dr. 3. 4.

Welcome | ScienceWeb - ASTA Science, Technology, Engineering and Math: Education for Global Leadership Today, the U.S. Department of Education (Department) will host the YOU Belong in STEM National Coordinating Conference in Washington, D.C. as a key initiative for the Biden-Harris Administration. The Raise the Bar: STEM Excellence for All Students initiative is designed to strengthen Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) education nationwide. This new Biden-Harris Administration initiative will help implement and scale equitable, high-quality STEM education for all students from PreK to higher education—regardless of background— to ensure their 21st century career readiness and global competitiveness. “Research shows how a sense of belonging in rich and rigorous classrooms is directly correlated to students’ long-term academic success. In support of the initiative and its goals, the Department has: Published a Dear Colleague Letter to state and district leaders outlining how federal education funds can be used to enhance STEM teaching and learning.
