The article “A Method for Generating Oxygen from Consumer Chemicals” (1) describes a method for generating oxygen and two tested demonstrations in which the burning of common household items are examined in the generated oxygen. It has come to our attention that similar procedures have been described elsewhere (2).
Contributions to the chemical education literature are continually developed; interested readers are encouraged to search online for more teaching resources.

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.
