*Some of you have already purchased my lab book – be sure to check out Page 141 !
This page provides a list of 31 American Chemical Society (ACS) articles regarding developments in Electrochemistry from 2015.
http://pubs.acs.org/page/vi/2015/batteries.html?ref=highlight
The articles are very technical and it is not expected that the students would read and comprehend them; however, a student could locate and define 10 vocabulary words related to Electrochemistry.
This could be a Homework assignment to introduce the subject of Electrochemistry, or an Extra Credit assignment.
An Internet search of the title of the article should provide the entire text. It is the teacher’s choice if you want to print and assign an article to the entire class or assign all 31 of the articles to the class. Also, you decide if you want to print an article and photocopy it or have each student print the article they use.
To avoid a “copy and paste” report, the teacher may require a handwritten assignment.
