Break down Complex Lab Procedures using Flow Charts
Students will learn the concept of drawing flow charts to break down difficult lab procedures. Students will begin by using labs used in the iCLEM program to practice the skill of flow charts.
Catalytic Oxidation of Acetone by Copper
The Bent Lab in Stanford’s Chemical Engineering Department focuses on studying the selective deposition of thin films in atomic layer deposition (ALD). These films are important for diffusion barriers, in integrated circuits. ALD is a subclass of chemical vapour deposition.
Data Analysis and Graphing for Chemistry
This ETP is designed to get students ready for inquiry based curriculum. Students will be required to base arguments on evidence provided in tables or graphs, by learning how to read them based on column headings, axis, headings, and best fit lines.

“Real Life” Scientific Inquiry in Chemistry Class Using ChemMatters
Chemistry happens in the world around us, not just in a lab. Every time we cook or clean, it's chemistry in action. Chemists actually spend a great deal of time writing and reading science literature in order to communicate their results and ideas to one another.
