The idea for the Periodicar came to me as a way to force my students to think about and explain chemistry at any hour of the day. I imagined myself chuckling as I drove past my students who would be driving or walking with a friend, knowing they would have to spend the next five minutes explaining the who, what, why, when, and how of such a weird car. It would be a community conversation-piece focused on science.

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.
