The cover shows the nitrogen cycle and highlights
the fixation of nitrogen by lightning - a major process in the atmospheric
environment. This month we have something about almost every aspect
of chemistry and the environment: air and water pollution, toxic-substance
control, interdisciplinary courses, and student research projects.
We hope that out of these riches you will find a number of things
that you can incorporate into your teaching. See a collection of articles
on chemistry and the environment starting with "Integrating
High School Chemistry with Environmental Studies and Research"
by Jack Randall.

Steinhart and Randall Wildman.

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.
Take JCE along on your outreach missions. Copies of the Journal, guest access to JCE Online, our publications catalog, and more are available for your particpants.
