In the United States, National Chemistry Week (NCW) is November 5-11, 2000. The American Chemical Society has chosen kitchen chemistry as this year's theme. Many articles in this issue can help you celebrate NCW 2000: kitchen and consumer chemistry (pp 1256-1270, 1307-1310, 1321-1342), outreach (pp 1291-1297), and real-world chemistry (pp 1298-1306, 1311-1320).
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 particpants.
