Resumen
- There is an increasing focus across all educational sectors to ensure that learning objectives are aligned with learning activities and assessments. An attractive approach previously published is that of curriculum alignment projects. This paper discusses the use of the fun and famous “Elephant’s Toothpaste” experiment as a customizable curriculum alignment project that can be tailored to address a large number of learning activities and learning outcomes in chemistry suitable for students ranging from late high school through to first year university.
