It is difficult to maintain student enthusiasm in large (over 350 students) lecture classes. Many useful strategies have been employed including demonatrations, computer simulations, prepared video material, etc. Recently at Michigan Technological University student generated limericks based on assigned chemistry have been read during lecture. Examples of some of these limericks are presented as well as some observations on the process.
Our Secondary School editors work hard to distill all the JCE materials to produce a fraction of particular interest to high school teachers. We call it CLIC.
In recent years we have worked hard to better match our advertisers with our readers. When shopping for chemistry education materials, visit our advertisers' WWW sites first.
Take JCE along on your outreach missions. Copies of the Journal, guest access to JCE Online, our publications catalog, and more are available for your participants.
