Connecting Chemistry to Everyday Life
The Connected Chemistry Curriculum is a comprehensive curriculum that pairs traditional classroom discussion and chemistry drawing activities with high-fidelity digital simulations of chemical systems at the particle level. The CCC covers the entire conceptual breadth of general chemistry from matter and solutions, to reactions, and even nuclear chemistry!
What makes the CCC stand out is our simulations. The simulation technology is built using modern web standards to deliver rich visualizations right to a computer browser. These simulations deploy age-appropriate scientific models of particle behavior to give students a glimpse into the realm of molecules and ions. What’s more, real-time physics calculations ensure that the particle behavior is accurately attuned to accepted quantitative models of various phenomena.
Built from a Community of Practitioners
During its development from 2010 to 2024, the the CCC relied on a dedicated network of instructors, teachers, and researchers that collaboratively built, tested, and implemented CCC in real classrooms. This helped to improve the curriculum over several versions to the version we use today. Tailoring this complex set of curriculum resources and visualizations to create the best possible learning experience for high school and college chemistry students required constant iterative development to make sure that it accurately meets the needs and interests of today’s chemistry students.
As a result of these research and development efforts, CCC is a complete and trustable chemistry curriculum because it was developed by teachers and students, for teachers and students!
