| There is general agreement within the profession that stereochemistry is one of the most important concepts required for understanding and predicting the physical properties and chemical reactivity of biological molecules. The content of the sophomore-level course in Organic chemistry lends itself to a deep, broad-based and balanced emphasis on stereochemistry or stereochemistry umbrella. We have developed a set of materials and experiments for use as stereochemistry teaching tools for the classroom and laboratory involving the use of physical models, PowerPoint-based tutorials, and computer visualizations. This presentation will describe and illustrate such materials and the learning cycle that is used to improve student learning. |
