This paper presents an approach to using real and fictional case studies with a range of ethical dilemmas. The pedagogical method we describe is effective in a variety of venues from high school to undergraduate summer research programs to workshops with graduate and postdoctoral students. Although the activities are quite similar in each venue, we focus on different aspects of the cases to make them relevant to the particular groups participating in the activities. Several example cases (real and fictional) are provided for varying levels of participants; we also provide example of scenarios that are less effective in certain venues.

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.
