Resumen de "Almost Like Weighing Someone's Soul": Chemistry in Contemporary Film
Students approaching a chemistry course for the first time do have previous experience with the discipline, at the very least from images in popular media. This paper discusses examples of images from films that can be used to start discussions in general chemistry classes. The examples include scenes from realistic films (i.e., not science fiction) where chemical substances are an important element in a scene or where chemistry is presented as a topic of discussion. The scenes illustrate some of the ways in which people, including students, may think about science.
