Abstract
This annotated bibliography collects the best that past issues of JCE have to offer for use with the 2006 Chemists Celebrate Earth Day theme, "Dig It!". Each item has been characterized as an activity, calculation, demonstration, experiment, or informational; several fit more than one classification. An indication of the levels the article may serve are included.
