Chemical demonstrations are used as an active-learning tool in a general chemistry course and as a method of outreach to a local middle school. The demonstrations are planned and prepared by groups of students, who first present them to their classmates and then take them to a middle school to present them to groups of middle school children in an event known as Chemistry Day.

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.
