Special_Topics : AirPollutants (20 Variations)
Which of the following air pollutants can be described as a photochemically active free radical that contributes to acid rain and respiratory irritation?
Special_Topics : RainFallpH (20 Variations) The rainfall in central Wisconsin has a pH of 4.8 (National Atmospheric Deposition Program). Take a look at the EPA webpage Effects of Acid Rain: Lakes & Streams. This site has a chart of the pH at which several aquatic species begin to suffer. Determine which of the following species will be most affected by rainfall of this acidity if the lakes and streams in central Wisconsin aren't buffered enough to neutralize some of the acid. (There may be more than one correct answer.)
Real-World Topics: Medicinal ChemistryArrietta Clauss Instructors often look for real-world topics that interest students when designing labs and preparing lectures. The chemistry associated with drugs is a fertile area, and the archives of the Journal can be a resource for interesting drug-related activities to enhance student learning. Clauss, Arrietta. J. Chem. Educ.2008, 85, 1657.

Molecular Models of Polymers Used in Sports EquipmentWilliam F. Coleman The Featured Molecules this month are a number of monomers and their associated polymers used in making equipment for a variety of high-impact sports. The molecules provide students with an introduction to an important area of applied chemistry and also enable them to examine complex structures using the models they have seen applied to small molecules.

Today's Science for Tomorrow's ScientistsCaroline Pharr Today's Science for Tomorrow's Scientists (TSTS) is an interactive Web site containing modular instructional units that introduce current science research through online tutorials. Research groups can use images, movies, and other interactive functions to share their work with others, particularly students at the elementary, middle, and high school levels. Pharr, Caroline. J. Chem. Educ.2008, 85, 1453.
