Peer reviewedUzzell, P. S. – Education in Chemistry, 1977
This article chronologically outlines discoveries and achievements made in the field of Chemistry from Ancient times to 1900. These events are classified into three categories: physical, inorganic, and organic chemistry. The approximate dates, scientists, and their countries of origin for each event are included in the time chart. (MA)

Peer reviewedFlintham, A. J. – Education in Chemistry, 1978
The effectiveness of gas warfare during World War I was increased by the lack of a basic understanding of the behavior of gases on the part of the soldiers. This was a result of deficiencies in science education. (BB)

Peer reviewedRobertson, C. T. – Education in Chemistry, 1973
Discusses theories underlying the phenomena of solution viscosities, involving the Jones and Dole equation, B-coefficient determination, and flickering cluster model. Indicates that viscosity measurements provide a basis for the study of the structural effects of ions in aqueous solutions and are applicable in teaching high school chemistry. (CC)
Descriptors: Chemistry, Educational Resources, Instructional Materials, Material Development
Peer reviewedHawkins, M. D. – Education in Chemistry, 1973
Discusses the theories, construction, operation, types, and advantages of fuel cells developed by the American space programs. Indicates that the cell is an ideal small-scale power source characterized by its compactness, high efficiency, reliability, and freedom from polluting fumes. (CC)
Descriptors: Aerospace Technology, Chemical Reactions, Chemistry, Educational Resources
Peer reviewedMooney, A. – Education in Chemistry, 1973
Discusses application of group theory to the teaching of selection rules in electronic and vibrational spectroscopy. Indicates that acquaintance with such a mathematical concept is essential for high school students to understand molecular spectrum courses. (CC)
