What Should We Teach in High School Chemistry?
Kelly Morgan Deters
Hayden High School, Topeka, KS 66606
Cover
October 2003
Vol. 80 No. 10
p. 1153
Abstract
High school chemistry teachers differ widely about on what they believe should be taught in the traditional high school chemistry course. Some teachers believe it is necessary to prepare students for college-level chemistry while others feel that it is more important to introduce students to the scientific method of discovery and to engage students in discussions about the world around them. This article reports findings of an email survey of college professors that asked them to report the top five skills necessary for students to master before entering college-level chemistry.
