About the Cover:

Instruction in chemistry has traditional demarcations related to historical subdisciplines. Knowledge in chemistry need not be organized in this way, and indeed the existence of such categories may hinder chemistry students’ ability to make sense of the broader implications of the field. The philosophy of the new anchoring concept content map (ACCM) produced by the ACS Exams Institute recognizes that the undergraduate curriculum in chemistry has themes that recur in each course. Referring to the ACCM to identify “big ideas” in chemistry and then finer grain concepts (moving out in the cover illustration from the central big ideas) provides a new way to use ACS Exams in longitudinal studies of student learning within a degree program. The ACCM itself may have other organizational uses as well. These ideas are discussed in the article “Building the ACS Exams Anchoring Concept Content Map for Undergraduate Chemistry” (DOI: 10.1021/ed300049w) by Kristen Murphy, Thomas Holme, April Zenisky, Heather Caruthers, and Karen Knaus, and then applied to general chemistry in the article “The ACS Exams Institute Undergraduate Chemistry Anchoring Concepts Content Map I: General Chemistry” (DOI: 10.1021/ed300050q) by Thomas Holme and Kristen Murphy.
