Quote of the day
If it is good to teach students about the chemical industry then why is it not good to assign ethical qualities to substances along with their physical and chemical ones? We might for instance say that CS gas is a bad chemical because it can only ever be used by a few people with something to protect against many people with nothing to lose. Penicillin is a good chemical.

This is my first year of full-time teaching, and I would not have survived so far without the vast pool of resources available on the InThinking Chemistry site. From teacher prep notes to lab suggestions to last-minute homework assignments to understandings...
