Developed for the 100-year anniversary of Marie Curie's Nobel Prize, a book offers lessons and activities to interest scholars in chemistry. It is divided into modules, so you can pick information from each to create your own lesson plans. Modules include background information, a chemistry video, online resources, awareness-raising activities, and hands-on activities.

Instructional Ideas

• Conduct additional information about Marie Curie
• Make a timeline of major advances in the field of chemistry

Classroom Considerations

• Focused on convincing women to become chemists; make a point not to leave out male students if you incorporate these activities

Pros

• Includes four complete lesson plans
• Divides hands-on activities into two sections: materials and properties as one and water experiments as the other

Cons

• None
