From a sample of 137 chemistry-related Web sites in the public domain, 17 were identified as Web-based inquiry activities (WBIs). Identification was made using an instrument developed in accord with national science standards. A multi-pass unanimous consensus analysis was used to examine how the 17 WBIs reflected the five essential elements of inquiry and to classify the WBIs accordingly. Instructional and design features of chemistry-related WBIs are described.

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.
