Lowell Thomson, DP Chemistry Teacher at the American International School of Bucharest

Grade level: Grade 9-12, Subject area: Chemistry/Science

IB requires your Group IV Science PSOW to include simulations. Learn how one teacher incorporates simulations and animations into various aspects of the IB Chemistry syllabus. Websites will be shared, along with handouts that guide the students and push their thinking skills. Simulations cover topics such as equilibrium, titrations, molecular modeling and redox. Bring your laptop and explore the simulations/animations during the presentation. Share your own ideas in an open discussion at the conclusion of the presentation.
