Any chance they gave you the Username and PW for accessing those protected resources at ASU and that you'd be willing to give out to a select few (thinking of myself and Jason because I know he'd put them to good use)?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8753011873410854596.post-29651955481144109292010-08-09T22:39:45.197-05:002010-08-09T22:39:45.197-05:00Yeah.

I've been to that site but I think I only saw physics stuff. Not really sure how to model the parts of an atom or the patterns in the periodic table.

There are lots of links to the research and general ideas. I haven't been through the physics, but from what I gather it is set up a bit differently than the chemistry. It was actually the first curriculum to be developed and the most refined. I would venture to guess that it would be easier for the kids to get since the concepts are not as abstract as chemistry's.Tracie Schroederhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10237663751076265379noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8753011873410854596.post-65842416295755744342010-08-08T12:39:36.008-05:002010-08-08T12:39:36.008-05:00@Tracie and @mhopple You guys have me pretty jealo...@Tracie and @mhopple You guys have me pretty jealous. Do you have any resources, other than the one Frank pointed to, on modeling chemistry examples? I think I've got a semblance of an idea how modeling physics looks based on all of frank's vids and such, chem I'm having a harder time with picturing.Jason Buellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03029995715142652159noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8753011873410854596.post-20111409756960202472010-08-03T17:51:17.581-05:002010-08-03T17:51:17.581-05:00Tracie,

It was eerie reading your blog, like I was talking to myself!! Anyway, it's all great!! I loved the workshop, am adopting the modeling this year and won't take myself so seriously. Students may find this type of teaching so different that they may mutiny at first but like our instructor asked during times of frustration: Does your head hurt? Yes, we responded. It's just your brain growing!!Smileyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08907584038604943496noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8753011873410854596.post-56768988473744533502010-07-23T19:32:43.059-05:002010-07-23T19:32:43.059-05:00This is great!

This one was organized by the workshop leaders:<br />http://sites.google.com/site/2010chemistrymodeling/daily-blogAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8753011873410854596.post-82535558853518390662010-07-22T11:06:28.452-05:002010-07-22T11:06:28.452-05:00This is an outstanding model.

Since I had never seen the chemical processes in action, I had very little to connect to. As a result, the learning was difficult. With the inquiry model students get to see what is happening first hand and then go on to construct an understanding of what they learned with each other.
