"Chemistry is a VErB" puts learning into action. Hill's winning project requires students at Blythewood High School to develop an interactive chemistry textbook wiki. Students will be encouraged to create multimedia tools to construct their textbooks. Examples of such tools are photos, movies, podcasts, and music. Student teams will represent a chemical company, and each company will have a name, motto, and logo. Hill will assign a topic to each team to study and prepare an interactive wiki. Wikis must demonstrate the team's knowledge and understanding of content. Hill, a resident of Columbia, believes that student-created textbooks intended for students add relevance and meaning to science and ensure a stronger science foundation before graduation.
