Stories to tell about teaching experiences: if they could be taken together - the successes and failures, surprises, and disappointments - they would go a long way toward explaining why we are teachers and why we continue to derive satisfaction from our profession. I have a story to tell about events last semester in my second-semester general chemistry course, Chemistry 104. To begin, let me introduce the cast of characters. Leslie Frye and Meredith Sessions were students in my class whose contributions to this paper will become apparent; Jeremiah Miller was their TA.

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.
