Welcome to the Chemistry SCALEUP wiki at North Carolina State University. On this site you will find resources for chemistry instructors to facilitate a student-centered learning experience in the classroom.
We developed over 100 activities for use in the general chemistry sequence at North Carolina State University. Activities included range from totally conceptual to algorithmic in nature. The types of activities have been classified as probes (a way to see what the students are seeing or learning about the material), investigative (where students manipulate the equipment and determine a chemical concept by themselves) or demonstration (where the instructor will do the activity for the student).
All the activities are in a pdf format – visit this website for a free download of Adobe reader, which will allow you to read the pdf’s
If you are an instructor at a university, college, junior or community college, or a high school teacher, please contact Dr. Maria Oliver-Hoyo, Kay Sandberg or Dr. Robert Beichner for access to these documents.e.
