Peer-reviewed journal online and assessment revisited

The chemical educator

The Chemical Educator is an bimonthly online American journal available by subscription ($29.95 annually for individuals or $149.95 for educational institutions). Titles and brief resumes of all articles can be viewed without subscription and one sample article is available for free from each issue.  

This peer-reviewed journal aims to serve the needs of all chemical education professionals, covering current topics, experiments, and teaching methodology. For articles on practical laboratory procedure the materials needed for implementation, including detailed instructions, student handouts, student data, computer files, and safety and disposal instructions, are available online at the time of publication. A quick look at some of the samples available suggest that many of the lab procedures are more suitable for university-level programmes than schools. For example, an arson investigation is based on gas chromatography.
