The need for a short descriptive statement that expresses the essence of what chemists do often presents itself to educators. Here this is done through the use of R. I. P. I., an acronym for React, Isolate, Purify, and Identify. R. I. P. I. refers to the four fundamental processes that are regularly taught to students enrolled in introductory chemistry courses. For some students these processes are part of their laboratory training to be a chemist.
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.
