Host a 1-, 2- or 3-Day Microscale Gas Workshop at Your School/University!

Workshop Evaluation Comments:
"The workshop provided me with many helpful ideas when it comes to teaching about gases and it related the generation of gases to real life situations."

"These experiments promote inquiry-based learning without being complicated.  Simple materials are used and readily available in a typical high school lab."

"Well-organized and clearly presented, appropriately paced, labs were set-up and clearly thought  out and many of the labs were very cleverly designed!"

"I have taken many workshops since I began teaching and often leave disappointed.  I was very impressed with this workshop and found it extremely valuable.  We were given many materials that we can use immediately in the classroom and lab."

"This was a very well-planned and valuable workshop.  Everything was practical ans most of it can and will be used by me and others with whom I will share the knowledge and materials."

"I especially liked the ability to have time to run the experiments, look for problems, correct the problems, and achieve good results."

"The presenters knew their material well -- they could cope with all questions or problems that arose."

"Excellent!  Well-suited to my needs, enjoyable, well-planned and practical"

"The sense of humor that Bruce and Sue brought to the workshop was especially refreshing.  These three days zipped by and each day was sufficiently distinct to be motivating.  This was perhaps the most useful workshop I've taken."

The Center for Microscale Gas Chemistry offers 3-day workshops (20 - 24 hours) at your school or university.  Workshops provide hands-on laboratory experience with a wide variety of gases.  We place an emphasis on using gas cehmistry to enhance and demonstrate your curriculum; time for sharing and discussing ideas is an important part of the workshop.  The workshop is suitable for high school and college teachers.  Middle school teachers will also benefit from the simpler gas experiments which can be modified for use in middle school science laboratory activities.
