Extractions: DEGREES: B.A., Rutgers College; M.S., M.Phil., Ph.D., Yale University Interests: Synthetic Organic Chemistry, Preparation of Tuberculosis Antimicrobials, Near-Infrared Spectroscopy Teaching Interests and Activities: My teaching duties usually include strong involvement in Organic Chemistry I and Organic Chemistry II, but I also frequently teach at the Introductory Chemistry level. I teach the Organic Seminar in rotation with the other organic chemists of my department. I especially enjoy seeing the progress of students whom I have met in their first year of chemistry as they go on to study organic. I am keenly interested in working with students to help them to make the intellectual connections between chemistry and their other scientific endeavors. Recently I have been serving as Chair of the Department of Chemistry. Research Interests and Activities: I have a long-standing enthusiasm for the synthetic chemistry of organic hydrazines, and most recently this work has centered on the preparation of tuberculostatic derivatives of isonicotinic acid hydrazide (INH). The goal of my work is a better understanding of the antimicrobial effectiveness of these tuberculostatic drugs, through their lipophilic and multifunctional character.. These areas are being explored through cooperative arrangements with the Tuberculosis Antimicrobial Acquisition and Coordinating Facility of the National Institutes of Health and with physician colleagues. Near-infrared spectroscopy provides a powerful tool for the analysis of these compounds and their interactions in solution, but we are also interested in these high-energy vibrational spectra in and of themselves.

In the spring of 2001, I am teaching Chemistry 222 : Introduction to Biochemistry. I often teach the second semester of introductory chemistry, Chemistry 111 . In spring of 1999, the organizing themes for my section of this course were: Nitric Oxide, Blood, and Electron Transport/ Biological Energy Production. I have taught an interdisciplinary course on women in science (both as a team-taught course and alone) and have taught in the Writing program. I am particularly interested in developing methods other than lecture to use in science courses and in encouraging collaborative work among students. I am also very interested in forming interdisciplinary connections among the sciences, and between the sciences and other disciplines. Chemistry 115Z was an alternative version of second-semester introductory chemistry, taught in coordinated fashion with introductory cell biology. This course has not been offered for several years, but an article describing the concept appeared in J Chem Ed (June, 1998), and you can view the
Harvard MRSEC - Educational Activities The teach program conducted with assistance from an Industrial Internship. GraduateActivities A popular and course entitled Materials chemistry and Physics. http://www.mrsec.harvard.edu/education.html
Extractions: The Center actively promotes interdisciplinary education in materials as well as research. The dedication and leadership of the faculty underscore our commitment to help pre-college students discover the excitement of scientific inquiry, develop new methods of teaching science and assist teachers, provide undergraduates with their first taste of real research, and prove the value of interdisciplinary teamwork to the nation's future materials scientists and engineers. Center faculty participate in Project TEACH (The Educational Activities of Cambridge-Harvard). Coordinated with the Cambridge Public Schools, the purpose of the program is to interest students early in college. Each seventh-grade class from the Cambridge Public Schools spends a day at Harvard where they receive information about college admission, meet with former Cambridge students new in college, learn first-hand about undergraduate life, and are exposed to critical thinking drawn from familiar examples in science and engineering by MRSEC faculty. The TEACH program conducted with assistance from an early awareness coordinator and a team of undergraduates supported with funds from Harvard College.

Extractions: These What Do You Think? questions are intended to find out what students know about elements and compounds. Formally, you can say that these questions elicit the students' prior understanding and is part of the constructivist approach. Students write a response for one minute and discuss for another two minutes. But you don't try to reach closure. The question opens the conversation. Students then begin the Investigate section of the activity. In the Investigate section they are involved in a number of activities that teach them chemical content, laboratory skills, and safety procedures. They separate water by electrolysis into the two elements from which it is composed and test the two elements to determine their identities. They can then conclude that the compound water is made up of two elements: hydrogen and oxygen. They have also experienced the differences in properties between the compound, water, and its constituent elements. ChemTalk summarizes the chemistry principles and includes chemical formulas and equations where appropriate. It also presents students with text, illustrations, and photographs that provide greater insight into the chemistry concepts presented. Words that may be new or unfamiliar to the students are highlighted. To provide reading support, they are also defined and explained outside the text area in

SEN 141 Activities In The UK - Education - The British Council This qualifies graduates to teach children from seven to produce a volume of practicalactivities and demonstrations primary schools with a focus on chemistry. http://www.britishcouncil.org/education/sen/sen141/part2.htm
Extractions: Science Education Newsletter 141 Activities in the UK Design and technology education at the University of Greenwich by Keith Good, Senior Lecturer, University of Greenwich The University of Greenwich's Avery Hill Campus, London has a long tradition of producing successful teachers and is an important provider of design and technology teachers in the UK. The lecturing team has also worked in Europe, USA and South Africa. The general approach we use is to provide students with knowledge and skills and then (crucially) to encourage them to apply these creatively to real problems. The National Curriculum for technology education has generated considerable interest beyond the UK, perhaps because it was amongst the first made compulsory at national government level. The Greenwich lecturing team has considerable experience in this field, which are able to share with colleagues in other countries. Please contact us if any of the following are of interest. We are of course open to other possibilities including joint research with a wide range of institutions around the world. Initial teacher training A BA(Hons) degree in Primary and Secondary Education Studies (Design and Technology) that confers qualified teacher status is now available. This qualifies graduates to teach children from seven to fourteen years, covering the older children in UK primary schools and the younger pupils in secondary schools. Greenwich aims to have a design and technology specialist course for intending primary school teachers in place for September 1999. Students wishing to specialize in secondary school teaching follow a BA(Hons) degree with qualified teacher status (QTS) that includes an innovative award-winning collaborative project. During this special project, students work as a team to meet the needs of a client in the community. Among the many clients have been disabled people, nurseries and a conservation field centre.
