TEACH WITH EXPERIMENTIUM

Experimentium is a chemistry laboratory teaching system that integrates curriculum, implementation guidance, and instructor development into a single teaching experience. It just happens to be free.

The roadmap below will guide you through the process.

Step 1 - Explore Experiments Guide

Click on the Explore Experiments Guide to discover how to access, filter and select an experiment. Open one experiment prompt and explore options.

Once you choose an experiment that you are excited to teach, consider the following:

  • Do you see yourself teaching with a video-based approach?
  • Would the structure of the prompt work for you and your students?

Step 1 complete: you now have the structure for your experiment prompts!

Build your Course Guide

Click on the Build Your Course Guide to discover how to access, filter and select a course. Open one course and review the experiment list. If you are a registered user, you can replace experiments, modify the order, and use your edited experiments in the course. When you are satisfied with your collection, save and download the course.
