The idea for the Periodicar came to me as a way to force my students to think about and explain chemistry at any hour of the day. I imagined myself chuckling as I drove past my students who would be driving or walking with a friend, knowing they would have to spend the next five minutes explaining the who, what, why, when, and how of such a weird car. It would be a community conversation-piece focused on science.

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.
