Visual experiments based on color mixing are proposed to illustrate four basic concepts in chemistry. These visual experiments involve connecting liquid puddles of different colors placed on a flat glass surface and observing and describing the phenomena that occur. Employing as nonspecialized a vocabulary as possible, these experiments can be used as part of a general introduction to chemistry.

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.
