Using the Relationship between Vehicle Fuel Consumption and CO2 Emissions To Illustrate Chemical Principles Maria T. Oliver-Hoyo and Gabriel Pinto
This instructional resource utilizes consumer product information by which students compare theoretical stoichiometric calculations to CO2 car emissions and fuel consumption data. Representing graphically the emission of CO2 versus consumption of fuel provides a tangible way of connecting concepts studied in chemistry classes to everyday life.

Making the Most of a One-Semester General, Organic, Biochemistry Course: A Novel Integrated Curriculum Laura DeLong Frost, S. Todd Deal, and Patricia B. Humphrey
A one-semester, general, organic, and biochemistry course is revised from a standard "follow the textbook" curriculum to an integrated curriculum, which focuses on presenting foundational concepts (general and organic chemistry) in the context of biomolecules and biochemistry and moving the majority of the computational aspects of the course to the laboratory.

Teaching about Flame Retardants. A Joint Israeli-Dutch Project Miri Kesner and Wobbe de Vos
Flame retardants make interesting chemistry and moreover, the chemistry is highly relevant from an everyday life point of view. This article reports on a joint Israeli-Dutch project aimed at teaching the production, properties, and applications of some bromine-containing flame retardants, including their environmental aspects, in secondary education.

Photocatalytic Degradation of a Gaseous Organic Pollutant Jimmy C. Yu and Linda Y. L. Chan
A simple and effective method to demonstrate the phenomenon of photocatalytic degradation of a gaseous organic pollutant was developed. Titanium dioxide (anatase) was used as the photocatalyst, and sunlight was found to be an effective light source for the activation of TiO2. The organic pollutant degrade in this demonstration was a common indoor air pollutant, dichloromethane.
