Investigating undergraduate student understanding of chemical kinetics

RSC Chemical Education Research Group

Although facility with mathematics is often central to understanding chemistry, little work has been done to explore the nature of this in undergraduate students. This study sought to investigate how students integrate chemistry and mathematics during problem solving in chemical kinetics, a disciplinary context that has also received little attention in the literature.

Environmental Toxicology

Center for Public Health Workforce Development

The environmental toxicology webinar presents the principles and fundamental concepts of toxicology, including the mechanisms of toxicity produced by chemical substances on living organisms and humans. It defines the ADME (absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion) process and how it relates to understanding the toxicological effects of environmental substances. The webinar also discusses how toxicology is important in risk assessment and the development of environmental regulations that enforce acceptable exposure levels.
