Abstract
This annotated bibliography collects the best that past issues of JCE have to offer for use with this year's National Chemistry Week. Each item has been characterized as an activity, calculation, demonstration, experiment, informational, software/video, Web tutorial, or WebWare item; several fit more than one classification. The most recent articles are listed first. An indication of the levels the article may serve is included.

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. 


JCE Collections Available
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.
