Rain Event:
This module has been developed to help students explore physical analysis
and pH related to rain showers in their area. The module will encourage
collaboration between students as they collect samples and make analyses.
The module provides for posting links to the users' data so that this work
is available for other students at other colleges. What emerges is a comprehensive
picture of rain acidity throughout the southern Appalachian region and
over a span of time.
Water Analysis:
The Environmental Analysis (Water) module builds on the work of the
Rain Event module to expand the analysis of rain and stream water, with
a focus on dissolved ions and organics. Similar to the first Rain Event
module, this module will gather students' data into a web site for comparison
and analysis.

Green Lab: Upgrading Experiential Chemistry Education
through Technology:
In this project a group of ACA chemistry faculty will develop an expandable
internet-accessible resource base to be accessed through an interactive
web template, hosting modules for experiential chemistry learning. The
nine modules developed during the grant period are designed principally
for use by faculty and students in general and organic chemistry courses,
though some of them are sufficiently interdisciplinary to also be used
elsewhere in curricula in the physical and biological sciences.
