Our first lab of the semester in Introduction to Organic Chemistry was a physical properties exploration activity. I incorporated some of the features that I like to include in experiments into this lab. The students were assigned either vanillin or camphor...

This year I extended the molecular modeling activity that I do during the laboratory period the first week of class by adding two group challenge activities. The students worked together in groups of four to work out these questions once they had finished with...

I am teaching Introduction to Organic Chemistry this semester. I have always struggled with how to present molecular structures to the class as the semester progresses. Molecular structures are so fundamental to organic chemistry, but we make things difficult...
