By employing a direct visual approach to learning, the Interactive Nano-Visualization in Science and Engineering Education (IN-VSEE) project endeavors to remove many of the conventional barriers that hinder effective teaching and learning by empowering learners with Internet access to revolutionary scanning probe microscopes (SPMs) that can image materials at resolutions down to the atomic scale. The objective of IN-VSEE is to integrate nanoscience and nanotechnology concepts into upper-division high school and lower-division college curricula. A unique Web-deliverable distance learning technology, SPM-Live!, empowers the learner with live remote control of a Nobel Prize-winning microscopy technique. Remote experiments are supported by interactive, multidisciplinary education modules that explore key fundamental and applied concepts of natural and manmade materials. Each module utilizes the latest technologies, such as Java applets, streaming video and animations, live chat, and image analysis software, to engage students. A diverse image gallery has also been created to serve as a materials visualization resource.
The "Chemistry Teacher Connection" (CTC) is especially for high school chemistry teachers. For only $40/year, it offers an online-only subscription to CLIC along with membership in the Division of Chemical Education, normally $65/year. CTC subscribers receive access to all articles and supplements from 1996 through the current issue.
Through special arrangement with the ACS, JCE High School CLIC is now able to provide subscribers with online access to Chemical & Engineering News articles that have been selected specifically for secondary science instructors and their students.
Occasionally, collections of JCE back issues become available for donation to individual teachers, schools, or libraries. JCE matches collections with interested recipients. Recipients pay shipping costs or pick up the collection.
For journals in other fields of chemistry visit ACS Publications.
