Chem Matters

Dear Parent:

For more than 25 years, ChemMatters has been demystifying every day chemistry for high school students. Thousands of teachers are currently using the magazine in their classrooms and here is a sample what they are saying:
"In our state students need to take chemistry or physics to graduate and in my district they have to take both...ChemMatters articles that are consumer based /every day life situations are very useful to those teaching that type of class."
"First, I want to mention that I absolutely love the magazine. In every issue, there are many items I'm interested in reading and sharing. The reading is good chemistry but not so technical as to turn a non-scientist off."
ACS (The American Chemical Society) is encouraging high school students to explore chemistry. They are generously extending their reach to home-schooled students as well. They offer a club called ChemClub, which may be of interest to parents. There is no membership required, no fees for participation in the program. They send resources, monthly updates,contests - to support students' interests in chemistry. They have 260 clubs and the program is rapidly growing. Unfortunately, they only had one home-schooled club. They will be glad to send a sample of a free magazine to parents who may be interested in looking at them. Please see the attached letter for this offer.You may also view their ChemClub program at ACS CHEM CLUB
