• Resumen

  • A current emphasis on teaching conceptual chemistry via the particulate nature of matter has led to the need for new, effective ways to assess students’ conceptual understanding of this view of chemistry. This article provides a simple, inexpensive way to use interlocking toy building blocks (e.g., LEGOs) in both formative and summative assessments for this purpose.
