Chemists Celebrate Earth Day 2008: Water—Streaming Chemistry. Stream sampling at Green Mountain College combines community service with an environmentally focused general chemistry laboratory. The cover illustrates students participating in a service-learning project that benefits the local conservation district by collecting samples at locations along a nearby river. As described in the article by Sutheimer, service-learning programs in chemistry often incorporate environmental projects, although many topics are suitable for these programs. Successful incorporation of service-learning projects in the chemistry curriculum requires creativity and flexibility on behalf of all who are involved in these efforts.

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.
