Here’s a question worth ten minutes of your first week back-to-school: Where do students see chemistry in their lives, their communities, or future careers? Start with career, because chemistry sits at the front of more paths than students might realize: ✅ Nursing and health professions, where dosage math and pH come up daily ✅ Cosmetic…

REAL CHEM’s Exploration gave Tori a new perspective on climate change in the Pacific Islands she calls home and deepened her appreciation for chemistry by helping her investigate the changes she sees in her own community. Biodiversity Month reminds us that connecting chemistry to what matters to students can motivate them to tackle challenging concepts…

Week two of the semester, and everyone is under stress. So, you NEED to reach a state of balance. Chemistry has a term for that, and it's called equilibrium! In this tutorial video, cobalt(II) nitrate dissolves in water to form a pink aqua cobalt complex. Adding hydrochloric acid introduces chloride ions. Then, those ions interact…

Practice works best when it arrives early enough to change how a student understands the concept. It's science (learning science 😉🧪), and the evidence here is substantial. Across 225 STEM studies, average failure rates ran near 34% under traditional lecturing and near 22% in courses built on active learning. Every design decision in REAL CHEM…

A new study found microplastics in stored blood. But how do you prove a particle is plastic? The study, published in Environment & Health, tracked particles shedding from the bags themselves. Concentrations climbed across 30 days of storage, reaching 7 to 20 times the level in a freshly opened bag. Two pieces of general chemistry:…

☀️ The temperature isn't that high. Why does it feel so miserable outside? The answer starts with chemistry. Your body cools itself by producing sweat. As sweat evaporates, it absorbs heat from your skin, helping lower your body temperature. But on humid days, the air already contains a large amount of water vapor. That makes…
