New equipment and apparatus for use in chemical education and research are discussed. (MLH)

Discusses solutions to problems in higher chemical education, including establishing a culturally oriented first course in chemistry, increasing employment opportunities for students, restructuring graduate education, and restoring the balance of professional effort between research and teaching. (MLH)

Describes ways in which the high school chemistry teacher can be more effective. Suggestions include acting as a vocational counselor, starting a modest research program for students, and personally interacting with students by discussing chemistry with them outside of the classroom. (MLH)

Presents a fairy tale which metaphorically deals with the teaching of chemistry and the place of research and teaching in society. (MLH)

Describes a biochemical concept called Mitchell's chemiosmotic hypothesis, which proposes a system that catalyzes the hydrolysis of ATP to ADP and inorganic phosphate. The system is reversible and causes a translocation of protons across a physiological membrane. (MLH)

Presents an explanation, without mathematical equations, of the basic principles of quantum mechanics. Includes wave-particle duality, the probability character of the wavefunction, and the uncertainty relations. (MLH)

States that college chemistry teachers can best assess a curriculum by observing how much reinforcement it provides to the students. Also urges that curricula should offer opportunities to instruct the concrete operational student in formal operational thought. (MLH)
