Five teachers spanning the USA from CA to New England had a wide-ranging discussion of electrochemistry. You will find a lot of activity and information in the google folder here. The video of the ChemChat is here. And I am trying something new this month: here is a link to the ChemChat chat text. These "conversations" have links that can be useful. Let me know if you want this to continue (sklemmer@mac.com).

Highlights of the discussion included what activities gave the best "bang for the buck" when time is limited: we agreed some type of electrolysis is probably the best at getting multiple core concepts across. But we also looked at redox activities, galvanic cells, metal reactivity vs. standard potentials, and resourc es such as the ChemMatters archive of articles and APTeach.

Here are the upcoming ChemChats, all held on Zoom from 4:00-5:00 pm EST.

• March 12th: Prepping for the AP Test
• April 9th: Thermodynamics
• May 7th: Phenomenon-Based Chemistry
• June 11th: TBA

Stay warm, my fellow chemists -
