The results of chemistry education research provide a significant resource to inform teaching strategies and the design of instructional materials at both the high school and undergraduate levels. The goal is to provide a forum for instructors wishing to learn about, adapt, and incorporate research-based materials and teaching strategies into their courses, with the goal of “doing better things” to create more effective learning environments to promote students achieving a deeper understanding of chemistry and developing appropriate science process skills. We strongly encourage paired submissions to this symposium that include two linked talks. The first talk will present the design and results of a chemistry education research project, while the second talk will describe the implementation of these results in classroom practice. Please indicate the paired talk in the notes to organizers. This symposium is sponsored by the DivChed Chemistry Education Research Committee.
