An open laboratory with guided discovery experiences significantly improves student attitudes about beginning chemistry when used to supplement course lectures. The exploratory concept is an incremental approach that does not require significant new equipment, laboratory space, or changes in course materials.
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.
