Chemical Connections and Happening
CHEM CONNECTIONS & HAPPEN
Transferring electrons. Making and breaking chemical bonds. These are among the atomic- and molecular-scale happenings that we will explore in this course, combining discussions of chemical principles with hands-on laboratory experiments. \ This is an auspicious year for chemistry: 2019 has been designated by the United Nations General Assembly and UNESCO as the International Year of the Periodic Table of Chemical Elements, in honor of the 150th anniversary of Dmitri Mendeleev’s publication of his periodic table. Along these lines, we will investigate some elemental properties through laboratory experiments on oxidation-reduction reactions and acid-base chemistry. We will also use hand-held models and computer software to visualize three-dimensional molecular structures and to calculate the distribution of electrons within molecules. Finally, we will consider connections of chemistry to philosophical, artistic, and literary questions, such as levels of “truth” in scientific theories. Curiosity and interest in chemistry are pre-requisites, but no special chemistry knowledge or background is required. Appropriate for Grade Levels: 9, 10, 11

Abnormal Psychology
ABNORMAL PSYCHOLOGY
This class will incorporate elements of two classes that I teach at the undergraduate level in the Barnard Psychology Department: Abnormal Psychology and Introduction to Clinical Psychology. Students will receive an introduction to the field of psychopathology, the scientific study of mental disorders. The course will survey a variety of forms of abnormal behavior in psychology, including anxiety disorders, mood disorders, eating disorders, substance use disorders, schizophrenia, and personality disorders. Description, theory, research, and treatment will be discussed in relation to abnormal behavior. Finally students will be provided with an introduction to the roles and responsibilities of clinical psychologists, including conducting various forms of assessments and psychotherapy. This class will be of interest to students who intend to pursue careers in the “helping professions” of clinical psychology, psychiatry, counseling and social work Appropriate for Grade Levels: 9, 10, 11
