analogies
Teaching Chemistry is not easy especially to students who are not interested in science. To help them learn the concepts being discussed, I used analogies where I relate or compare a particular concept or topic to any thing that the student is familiar with. This website shows analogies that I have been using in teaching Chemistry and based on my experience, the use of these analogies really make it easier for students to understand chemistry. I would like to thank Prof. John J. Fortman for pioneering the use of pictorial analogies in Chemistry. I was lucky to receive a copy of these pictorial analogies sent by Prof. Fortman and these were published in Journal Chemical Education. In addition, I also presented a poster at the 17th Philippine Chemistry Congress in 2001 showing the different analogies used to teach chemistry. Since the poster is a cut and paste collection of pictures, I am making it available on this website together with the extended abstract submitted for the proceedings of the meeting.
