Abstract

Chemistry 121, a first-year undergraduate introductory chemistry course for non-science majors has been redesigned under the sponsorship of the Maryland Collaborative for Teacher Preparation to improve the pre-service preparation of science and mathematics teachers for grades 5-8. A constructivist approach guided the redevelopment efforts. The most significant ways in which the new Chemistry 121 differs from the previous version are summarized.
