This leads to a large number of students failing the course, causing students to have less confidence in their abilities as scientists. This is an issue for diverse students in particular, because many do not see role model scientists that look like them. If students can observe that chemistry is everywhere in their surroundings, this may help cultivate a sense of scientific identity, allowing them to envision themselves as scientists. Homework assignments is one way to do this. In this study, we analyze the responses of 173 students in General Chemistry I from the Keck Science Department at the Claremont Colleges over the course of 14 weeks. The students were asked, \u201cHow have you observed chemistry outside of class this week?\u201d. The responses underwent qualitative coding using NVivo 14. Students were not specifically prompted to provide detailed descriptions of the chemistry involved, yet we observed that many responses included supplementary explanations, diving further into the chemistry within their examples. This indicates students exceed the requirements of this assignment. Data is still being analyzed. Preliminary results from Weeks 1-4 show students are providing more explanations as the semester progresses. Through offering supplementary explanations, students recognized the presence of chemistry in their surroundings, demonstrating involvement with the assignment. This level of involvement could suggest that students have developed a scientific identity, which assists them in envisioning themselves as scientists.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:33.33%\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/src.cikeys.com\/2024\/conference-schedule\/poster-presentations\/\">Poster Presentation<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/src.cikeys.com\/2024\/conference-schedule\/poster-presentations\/poster-presentations-session-1\/\">Session 1<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">9:15am\u00a0<strong>\u2013<\/strong>\u00a010:30am<br>Grand Salon<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Chemistry<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Noleen Kirya, &amp; Dr. Ariel Vaughn General Chemistry I has a reputation for being difficult.
