Celebrating 15 Years with the 15 Classroom Activities Greatest Hits from the Journal of Chemical Education

Free activities! These are written so you can use them in the classroom as soon as you've gathered the materials for the experiments. Many of them are quite clever in their use of materials to demonstrate a chemical property. 

Celebrating 15 Years with the 15 Greatest Hits, 1997-2012 September 2012 marks fifteen years since the first classroom activity, "A Refrigerator Magnet Analog of Scanning-Probe Microscopy" was published in the Journal of Chemical Education. 112 Activities later - readers are still finding these activities attractive and useful; with their use of materials available from local grocery and hardware stores, wide range of chemical concepts covered, a ready-to-photocopy-and-use format, and the knowledge that each one had been tested by fellow teachers. Many of the activities require a subscription to JCE, but others do not. Here's a link to more information about the 15 greatest hits. http://pubs.acs.org/page/jceda8/15years.html
