Welcome to the OLPC Chemistry portal. The following information is about chemistry projects associated with the XO, including software and content. There is a great opportunity to blend the teaching of chemistry principles into important issues such as water/sanitation and environmental concerns.
Getting involved
Those interested in chemistry, with or without background teaching it or writing for it, are welcome.
Participants
Recent updates
- A new chem wikislice is now available. 16:41, 18 March 2008 (EDT)
Chemistry projects
Education and online projects
Software and tools
There are some good interactive periodic tables. In addition to the chem wikislice, there is KDE's Kalzium project; but it is not particularly interactive.
Needed : good etoys activities and Measure addons for chemistry.
Chemistry content
Samples
Here is the current Chemistry wikislice:
- File:Wikislice-chemistry-en-2.xol (currently v.2)
Curators
Sharing your own material
If you have chemistry material to share, you can create a bundle out of it and post it to the wiki here for review. And bear Misha Herscu's advice in mind about how easy and rewarding it is to compile things into a full book.
Other sources
UNESCO-developed Lab Courses
Global Microscience Project (GPME)
This is an incredible resource for science education that was developed in South Africa with UNESCO funding. Contains a huge collection of experiments that can be conducted with fairly simple supplies, and it comes along with teacher guidance. Highly adaptable to OLPC purposes.
- See also International Foundation for Science Education (IFSE), UNESCO-Associated Centre for Microscience Experiments,The RADMASTE Centre, University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg, South Africa
Each is currently a 2-3 MB PDF. See more listed on Science page.
