| Abstract |
|
We present a project called "Chemistry in an Aquarium", which was developed over the last few years by a group of researchers from the Faculty of Mathematical, Physical and Natural Sciences of La Sapienza University of Rome and MUSIS (Multipolar Museum of Science and Scientific Information in Rome). The project aims to show how the study and analysis of physical and chemical parameters related to life in and the development of an aquarium can be used to teach chemistry at different school levels. This topic, initially developed during refresher courses for science teachers, was later successfully employed in the construction of an integrated museological unit for "CHEMistry for Life", a European project promoted by ECSITE and CEFIC.

| Chemistry Teacher Connection |
|
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.

| C&EN CLICs |
|
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.
