Smith, Roger M.; Renfrew, Malcolm M., Ed. – Journal of Chemical Education, 1980
Reviews the dangers of benzene as a toxin as well as a flammable substance. (CS)
Descriptors: Chemistry, College Science, Higher Education, Laboratory Safety
Peer reviewed
Coller, B. A. W.; And Others – Journal of Chemical Education, 1980
Analyzed are the deficiencies of a traditional freshman course in chemistry, including (1) chemistry model usage, (2) inadequate discrimination between related but different basic concepts, and (3) methods for teaching elementary ideas. Described is an approach used to resolve these problems. (CS)

Adamson, Ishola – Journal of Chemical Education, 1980
Described is the first part of a two-term project involving final-year students in biochemistry. Listed are the required experiments compiled to test students' abilities to search biochemical literature, extract experiments from journals and carry them out, generate data, and interpret results. (CS)

Ferguson, Lloyd N. – Journal of Chemical Education, 1980
Presented are three ways in which bioactivity of organic compounds has been introduced in organic chemistry courses. One is to point out a typical bioactivity of a given functional group. A second is to discuss biorganic mechanisms. A third is to draw structure-activity correlations (SAR). (Author/HM)
