Through a cooperative learning strategy, students are challenged to relate concepts learned in organic chemistry to published research, in order to attack a "real-world" environmental problem. A cost-effective process, through use of STN Easy, has been demonstrated in the context of laboratory courses in multiple undergraduate institutions.
Supplement
A Microsoft PowerPoint presentation, STN Easy screenshots containing hints for effectiveness, and a student team report are available.

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.
