For twenty years, I have started my second-year Inorganic Chemistry class with a few PowerPoint slides illustrating the inorganic chemistry that is present in a number of societal areas. The point is to emphasize to the students that inorganic chemistry is present in all aspects of life. To make this process more interactive, I made "game pieces" with a topic on the front (e.g, photography or radiation protection or vitamin B12) and an area on the back (energy, materials, biology, medicine, or environment). As each student enters the class, they are asked to take one game piece. Poster boards corresponding to each area are posted around the classroom. At the beginning of the class, the students are instructed to go to the poster corresponding to the area indicated on the back of their piece. They introduce themselves to the other members of their group and then, as a group, they place their pieces in one of two columns on the poster. If there is ANY aspect of the topic which involves inorganic chemistry, they place it in the column labelled "inorganic", otherwise it goes in the column labeled or "not inorganic". Each group is then called on, in turn, to give their names and to list the topics that they had placed in each column. We discuss, for one or two of them, why they had made their choices. After all groups have been queried, the students return to their seats and I pull up PowerPoint slides which correctly assign the topics. In addition to hopefully making the point that inorganic chemistry shows up in areas that would not be obvious, this exercise also helps students get to know each other and me to start to get to know them.
