Research output: Contribution to journal › Article › peer-review

Abstract

The first part of this essay deals with interesting and effective and fun ways to teach chemistry. The second part is concerned with does and don'ts in chemistry demonstrations, i.e., how you and the audience can have fun and learn at the same time. The last part is a discussion of what it is that fascinates me in chemical thermodynamics.
