Inorganic chemistry is often a difficult subject for students, especially because it covers a large variety of topics. Recently, there has been increased interest in systems thinking for teaching chemistry. Systems thinking allows students to make connections between chemical concepts and the systems that make up the universe. By integrating systems thinking techniques into inorganic chemistry courses, we can help students achieve a deeper understanding of chemistry and how it relates to the world around them. Herein, I discuss how the undergraduate inorganic chemistry courses have changed over the past century, the prospect of adding systems thinking to the inorganic curriculum, and the future of teaching inorganic chemistry using advanced technology.
