The National Science Foundation has supported thousands of projects in education and many hundreds in chemistry. These make a rich resource of experienced educators who have already investigated an idea, developed applications for an instrument, or implemented a new course method. How can you find out what has been done and by whom? Obviously, the best way is to be a steady reader of chemical education journals, but what can you do if something is not published? That is when you turn to the actual award data on the NSF Web site.
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.
