The American Chemical Society sponsors one-week, residential summer workshops for teachers using or intending to use ChemCom. Apply today for one of this summer’s workshops, or pass this information along to a chemistry teacher. In each workshop, experienced ChemCom Teacher Leaders guide participants through the ChemCom text and provide hands-on experience with many of the laboratories, modeling exercises, and culminating activities. Participants are also introduced to the many ancillaries new to the most recent edition of ChemCom. Teachers using previous editions of ChemCom, or any other textbook, are also invited to apply. The locations and dates of the 2003 one-week workshops are listed below.
