Abstract
A set of in-class activities were developed that use climate change concepts to help students learn general chemistry content. The activities are based on POGIL (Process Oriented Guided Inquiry Learning) pedagogy, in which students work in groups to develop conceptual understanding of the topics presented in the activity. A challenge faced in the development of these activities was how to effectively incorporate the climate change context. The result was a set of activities that incorporate climate change in a variety of ways. This chapter will present different model types used in these activities, along with discussion of the corresponding benefits of each particular model type. It is hoped that the reader will gain some insight into model development, and that the examples presented will make it easier for others to incorporate context-based examples into their own curricular materials.
