Improving Conceptual Understanding in High School Chemistry

Moving Students From Description to Explanation by Visualizing the Molecular Level

VisChem is a National Science Foundation funded (Award #DRL-1908121, PI: Dr. Ellen Yezierski, Professor of Chemistry, Miami University) professional development program and study to determine how teachers’ use of dynamic, molecular-level visualizations in secondary chemistry classrooms afford and constrain student learning as well as inform students’ ideas about molecular-level behavior underpinning chemical and physical changes.
