Hope this message finds everyone well. A local high school chemistry teacher reached out to me about a project that she did with her AP Chemistry students during Spring, 2021. The chemistry involved in the project was pretty simple and there were a few errors in the research design. Nonetheless, the activity of involving an entire class of about 10-15 students in the identification of a research problem and its implementation is, at least in my opinion, really worth reporting.
