Chemistry students at South Eugene High School (SEHS), Eugene, Oregon are able to conduct laboratory experiments using computer-based instrumentation as the result of creative fund-raising. Edie Anderson, who teaches first-year and advanced placement chemistry, developed an innovative means of obtaining donations by selling element sites for an illustrated periodic table. With the help of colleagues the idea mushroomed, and a fund-raising committee began making plans how the project would be executed and how funds could be acquired.
The "Chemistry Teacher Connection" (CTC) is especially for high school chemistry teachers. For only $40/year, it offers an online-only subscription to CLIC along with membership in the Division of Chemical Education, normally $65/year. CTC subscribers receive access to all articles and supplements from 1996 through the current issue.
Through special arrangement with the ACS, JCE High School CLIC is now able to provide subscribers with online access to Chemical & Engineering News articles that have been selected specifically for secondary science instructors and their students.
Occasionally, collections of JCE back issues become available for donation to individual teachers, schools, or libraries. JCE matches collections with interested recipients. Recipients pay shipping costs or pick up the collection.
