JCE classroom activities virtual issue: Celebrating 15 years with the 15 greatest hits, 1997-2012

Abstract

The 15th anniversary of the launching of the JCE Classroom Activity series is highlighted. These hands-on, minds-on activities largely use grocery and hardware store materials to investigate a wide range of chemical concepts. While written for high school students, they are adaptable for use with other levels, from the very young up to adults. The top 15 most downloaded JCE Classroom Activities over the period of one year have been selected as the content of a Journal of Chemical Education virtual issue. This article describes the content and directs the reader to the virtual issue. © 2012 The American Chemical Society and Division of Chemical Education, Inc.
