Describes a computer model kinetic theory experiment for the college physical chemistry laboratory. (HM)

This manometer is a modification of a design reported previously. It contains simplifications in the design of the manometer itself and in the associated electrical circuit. The apparatus is useful in the study of gas-phase reaction kinetics. (BB)

This report discusses the main issues and problems identified at the Fifth Biennial Conference on Chemical Education. Main topics included surviving the drop in university enrollments, preparing chemists for changing job markets, improving scientific literacy, and obtaining more support money. (MA)

A colorimetric procedure for the determination of serum iron for use in freshmen and sophomore level quantitative analysis laboratories is described. (CP)

Reported here are the responses of a group of chemical engineering educators to questions relating to the use of a series of undergraduate chemical engineering modules developed by the CHEMI Project. (BB)

Describes a chemistry of life course offered at the University of Illinois for students interested in life sciences which meets four times per week in classes of 25 with a teaching assistant to view lectures via videotapes. (SL)

Presents the personal philosophy and classroom teaching ideas of a first and second year secondary level chemistry instructor. (SL)

Describes an experiment for general chemistry students for analyzing bathroom cleansers. (SL)

Describes a laboratory exercise illustrating the use of the Cannizzaro reaction in synthesis, the production of commercial resin, and the importance of natural products in industrial chemistry. (SL)

Describes an experiment utilizing the Solvay synthesis of sodium hydrogen carbonate to teach students to organize and plan a synthesis procedure. (SL)

Short reports contributed on a variety of topics in chemistry are presented. (CP)
