Active Learning Activities

Active learning activities are tailored to specific learning outcomes and content. They incorporate one or more of the evidence-based strategies. Structured to expose their theoretical underpinnings, the activities can be used by practitioners and researchers alike.

Chemistry STEM

This activity is aimed at getting students to be able to write sound, scientific rationales for observed phenomena.
