    Welcome to the university course Chemistry 1 for Teachers.  This course will focus on atomic structure, compounds and their properties, reactions, and stoichiometric changes, states of matter, and end with energy changes.  It's important to note that this is a college-level course and you will be expected to understand the material at a much higher level than you will likely incorporate in your classroom.  

    This is a content course that utilizes 3D pedagogy. This course does not provide a full understanding of 3D pedagogy, but incorporates the Utah SEEd Standards which include NGSS science practices, crosscutting concepts and disciplinary core ideas.  Lesson plan creation is part of the course.  Emphasis is on best practices used to teach this content in a classroom.  The estimated time commitment is 6-8 hours a week.  (This course does not count as the Three-Dimensional Science and Engineering Pedagogical Knowledge course required for some endorsements.)

    This 12 week course is only done over the set 12 week period.  Participants are not able to "move at your own pace" but work within the module assigned for that week.   Modules cannot be unlocked ahead of the scheduled time.

    This Online Endorsement Course meets the Utah State Science Endorsement Course Requirements for:

    • Chemistry 1: Principles of Chemistry 1
    • Secondary Core Science: General Chemistry

    Upon successful completion, the participants will receive 3.0 Southern Utah University Credits. 

    IMPORTANT COURSE INFORMATION: 

    • The cost for this course is a $50 refundable registration fee,  if you are a UtSTA Member and a contracted teacher and pass with a 74%. If you are not a contracted Utah Public School educator, the cost for the course is a nonrefundable $600 fee. 
    • Participants will also need to pay an additional $69 for 3 university credits directly to SUU. (Instructions coming soon.)  This fee is refundable if you are are a contracted teacher and pass with a 74%. It is nonrefundable if you are not a contracted teacher.  Refer to this document if you have any questions about refunds.

        History of Lake Bonneville

        My research focused on developing a high-resolution record of Lake Bonneville oscillations to determine past climate change. Lake Bonneville was a large ice-age lake that covered most of western Utah about 15,000 years ago. Teachers in many areas of the state can see evidence of Lake Bonneville shorelines just by walking outside. It's an important story for the geologic history of our state and helps teachers understand how scientists study climate changes that happened long before historical data collection.

        Pass the Energy Please by Barbara Shaw McKinney

        'Pass the Energy, Please!,' is an upbeat rhyming story written in poetry form (with beautiful illustrations). It is a great hook for helping teachers meet 5th Grade SEEd Standard 5.3.3 (with can be extended to food webs in 6th grade) by creatively and cleverly focusing on the movement of matter and how it cycles among plants, animals, and the environment. Students can develop and use a model of this process. This literature is an excellent extension resource because its poetic language builds essential science vocabulary and helps to inspire young independent learners while sharpening skills needed for reading informational texts.

        Objective: Our goal is to demonstrate how literature can be used as a catalyst for developing analytical writing skills within the context of scientific inquiry. By using selected books as mentor texts, this session will guide teachers in initiating and enhancing students' analytical writing abilities, intertwined with scientific practices. The focus will be on leveraging inquiry-based writing exercises to achieve proficiency in the writing standards.

        When you register, please enter your CACTUS number if you would like to receive one relicensure point.

        Attendees will receive a free copy of one book! FREE 

        Nonmembers cost is $35.00 to register.

        Using computational genomics to study disease in Pacific Islanders

        I am currently studying Pacific Islander genomes to better understand the genetic factors that contribute to the increased rates of diabetes, kidney disease, and cardiovascular disease that affects this community. We are using a multi-omics approach to identify and characterize both common and rare genetic variants in Pacific Islanders that associate with disease. I think a better understanding of the challenges of genetics research and how we leverage technology to meet those challenges is fascinating. Teachers in UtSTA are inspiring the next generation of scientists. If the teachers understand this, they'll be better equipped to prepare the kids.

        June 1–5, 2026 — Upper San Juan River (Sand Hill to Mexican Hat)
        Limited to 25 participants — Register quickly!

        Embark on a four-day, immersive rafting expedition through one of the most spectacular natural laboratories in the world! This professional development course takes you deep into the heart of southern Utah’s canyonlands—where every bend of the river reveals new stories of ancient seas, migrating dunes, desert ecosystems, and the rich biodiversity of the San Juan corridor.

        By day, we’ll navigate the river, explore side canyons, identify native flora and fauna, uncover fossil-rich rock layers, and practice field-based instructional strategies you can bring directly back to your classroom. By night, we’ll camp under some of the darkest skies in the country, enjoy catered meals, and participate in fireside discussions that connect Earth systems, evolution, ecology, and Utah’s geologic history.

        All food, camping gear, and rafting equipment are provided—you bring your curiosity, sense of adventure, and passion for teaching.

        This is the most engaging way to learn biology and geology in the field, and space is extremely limited.
