This puzzle embeds 37 names, terms, prefixes and acronyms about lipid chemistry in a 17 x 13-letter matrix. A descriptive narrative with underlined spaces to be filled gives clues to the terms a student needs to find. When all are found, the 16 unused letters complete a sentence that describes a major function of these biochemicals. It is suitable for any undergraduate or graduate course where lipid chemistry and basic metabolism are studied.

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.
