    ChemChats are monthly open roundtable discussions on Zoom facilitated by NEACT.  ChemChats are aimed at high school and college chemistry teachers but are open to all STEM teachers. Come to share ideas, come to ask questions, or just come for the collegiality.

    Our topic for this afternoon is "What's New in 2024-25?". This is an opportunity to share what's new for you this academic year and to lay out topics for ChemChats to help meet this year's challenges. 

    ChemChats are hosted by Sue Klemmer. I am ZOOMING from the coast of Maine, so times are always stated as east coast time. We run 4:00-5:00 pm EST.

    ChenmChats generally run the 2nd Thursday of each month from September through June.

    Plan to attend the NEACT Western Division Meeting!

    This online meeting will be held September 28 from 9:30am - noon

    RSVP by 9/26 to be sent the Zoom link.  Participants must be members of NEACT  (you can join when you sign up) 

    Anyone who registers before Sept 21 will be mailed a set of free materials that will be discussed in the meeting that you can use in your classroom!!  The instructions on how to use them will be provided during the meeting.

    Topic Title:  Material Science and Sustainability

    Meeting description:

    Sustainability is meeting the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their needs. We all interact with and depend on materials every day. Where do the materials come from? How do materials get processed and transported around the world? What happens after we are done with products? How does what we use, eat, wear, drive, buy, throw out, etc. affect the world around us? This workshop will provide an overview on how we can get students to engage in these questions and plan for our environment in the future. 

    The presenter is Sherri Conn Rukes.  She has taught high school over 28 years and conducted material science research at Northwestern University.  Sherri is a past president of AACT and is a Master Teacher for the ASM Materials Education Foundation.
