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.

Effectiveness of Facilitating Small-Group Learning in Large Lecture ClassesD. C. Lyon and J. J. Lagowski Presents the results of a study investigating the effectiveness of peer-led, small-group discussions associated with a large general chemistry course taught in a traditional lecture format. Lyon, D. C.; Lagowski, J. J. J. Chem. Educ.2008, 85, 1571.

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. Coleman, William F. J. Chem. Educ.2008, 85, 1456.
Spreadsheet Methods for Point Group Theoretical CalculationsEdward W. Vitz An Excel workbook with built-in character tables for all common point groups helps remove some of the tedium from the linear algebra calculations needed to describe bonding and spectroscopy.

Phlogiston (GCMP)David M. Whisnant Phlogiston: this is a resource in the collection "General Chemistry Multimedia Problems". In this problem we will think back to the last half of the 18th century when modern chemistry was beginning to take place. One of the major problems occupying chemists at the time was combustion. The dominant theory of combustion in the mid-18th century involved a substance called "phlogiston." General Chemistry Multimedia Problems ask students questions about experiments they see presented using videos and images. The questions asked apply concepts from different parts of an introductory course, encouraging students to decompartmentalize the material.
