I took this innitiaves on 2008 when I was teaching a college preparatory chemistry to 10 and 11 grade students at Mcallen High School. I carried ou t a research study that supported my hypothesis that Charts and direct experiences with the chemistry processes around our environment could be used to teach chemistry just as maps and adventures helps to learn Geography. I will be more than willing to talk further on this.
