ChemConnections: Computer Chip Thermochemistry: How Can We Create an Integrated Circuit from Sand?

These topical modules were developed and tested by the ChemLinks Coalition and the Modular Chemistry Consortium as part of the National Science Foundation's Systematic Change Initiative in Chemistry. The teaching approach that these modules reflect represents a significant pedagogical improvement over methods that rely on traditional lectures and verification laboratories.ChemConnections modules cover a broad range of chemical topics and supply research-based, classroom-tested, active learning strategies that guide students through the scientific process.
