| Abstract |
|
For chemistry teaching that emphasizes connections to the observable world, sixteen quick motivations that involve food are described, spanning many topics in a high school chemistry curriculum: measurement, naming, stoichiometry, distillation, periodic table, polarity, boiling point, rate of solution, catalysis, entropy, acids, redox, and organic compounds.

| 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.
