Abstract

The need for educational resources that effectively address contemporary scientific and societal challenges is exemplified by the global issue of climate change. This article describes a lesson utilizing multiple PhET sims in a general chemistry course examining greenhouse gases and their contribution to global warming. This is a cumulative lesson that integrates topics from earlier in the course such as Lewis structures, VSEPR predicted geometries, and molecular polarity. The lesson plan also incorporates a socio-political context, which includes exploring the views of citizens from various countries and analyzing the opinions of current American politicians on climate change. Student feedback highlights the strong appeal of this approach, noting particularly its relevance and effectiveness in linking scientific principles to real-world issues.

使用多个 PhET 模拟在真实世界背景下研究温室气体
气候变化这一全球性问题表明,教育资源必须能够有效地应对当代科学和社会挑战。本文介绍了在一门普通化学课程中利用多个 PhET 模拟来研究温室气体及其对全球变暖的影响的课程。这是一门积累性课程,整合了课程前期的主题,如路易斯结构、VSEPR 预测几何图形和分子极性。教案还结合了社会政治背景,包括探讨各国公民的观点和分析美国现任政治家对气候变化的看法。学生的反馈意见强调了这一方法的强大吸引力,尤其是在将科学原理与现实问题联系起来方面的相关性和有效性。

期刊介绍: The Journal of Chemical Education is the official journal of the Division of Chemical Education of the American Chemical Society, co-published with the American Chemical Society Publications Division. Launched in 1924, the Journal of Chemical Education is the world’s premier chemical education journal. The Journal publishes peer-reviewed articles and related information as a resource to those in the field of chemical education and to those institutions that serve them. JCE typically addresses chemical content, activities, laboratory experiments, instructional methods, and pedagogies. The Journal serves as a means of communication among people across the world who are interested in the teaching and learning of chemistry. This includes instructors of chemistry from middle school through graduate school, professional staff who support these teaching activities, as well as some scientists in commerce, industry, and government.
