From the authors of the "conceptual" line of science textbooks, this podcast series focuses on the important added benefits one receives when learning the concepts of science within a learning community. This includes improved thinking skills and social skills too. We not only help students prepare for their next exam, we also work to distill the flavor of the overall college experience. This podcast series is a thoughtful step back—a reflection on the meaning of one's education. All of this, we call the big picture.

    Chem 101: The Big Picture Podcast, The Anthropology of Learning

    Chem 101: The Big Picture Podcast, The Anthropology of Learning

    From the authors of the “conceptual” line of science textbooks, in this second episode we discuss how cognitive “frames” color our worldview. Recognizing these frames can help us to remain open to new ideas. The yet to be recognized term “collective causation” is used as an example of hypocognition. This is followed by a review of Chapter 2 of Conceptual Chemistry relating to the particulate nature of matter.

    Chem 101: Big Picture Podcast, Atoms and Quantum Theory

    This episode features a review of the second half of Chapter 4 of Conceptual Chemistry. It begins with the nature of light followed by the idea that energy itself is quantized, which means it occurs in packets. We then explore the wave nature of electrons and how this explains an element's spectral fingerprint as well as the organization of the periodic table. Duration: 42:25.
