Comic Book Chemistry with Dr Colleen Kelley
Comic books... they can teach chemistry! Dr. Colleen Kelley from the University of Arizona has created an amazing set of comic books designed to help students of many ages understand chemistry and become molecular literate.
Hosted by Ben Newsome from Fizzics Education
About Dr. Colleen Kelley
Dr. Colleen Kelley is the Creator and Founder of Kids’ Chemical Solutions which is a comic-book-based curriculum for kids ages 8 – 108. Her journey as a chemist began at The University of Richmond where she received her B.S. in Chemistry. She fell in love with the world of discovery and research and wanted to continue to explore more chemistry, so she completed her Ph.D. in chemistry at Penn State University at the age of 24.
Fast forward 30 years later to the tail-end of her career teaching chemistry at the University of Arizona, Colleen finds herself captivated by the question, “Why do my students think chemistry is SO hard?” What she has discovered is that learning chemistry is very much like learning how to read and she created the term Molecular Literacy to describe how chemistry is best understood.
