Abstract
The claims of cleaning products and personal care items are known to many. National Chemistry Week 2002 makes use of this familiar subject with its theme of "Chemistry Keeps Us Clean". A look back through the Journal of Chemical Education yields many articles connected to this theme. Students can make soap, test the properties of various household cleaners, find out how vacuum cleaners work, and moreŅall in the name of chemistry. This annotated bibliography collects the best that past issues of the Journal of Chemical Education have to offer for use with this year's National Chemistry Week. Each article has been characterized as a demonstration, experiment, activity, informational, or software/video item; several fit in more than one classification. The most recent articles are listed first. Also included is an evaluation as to which levels the article may serve. Articles that appeared adaptable to other levels, but are not designed explicitly for those levels, are labeled "poss. h.s." "poss. elem.", and so forth.
