Project-based cooperative learning and discovery/inquiry-based learning. This is unfamiliar territory for some students but it will be challenging and rewarding to see the positive results of implementing planned and structured lessons for each unit involving each of these instructional strategies.

I learned using more modeling and demos is extremely important. The content in chemistry is very abstract and students are often visual learners. You must use models for students to understand concepts such at intermolecular forces. This will help them understand these difficult topics.
