  • Online Middle School Chemistry Resource

    Updated: 2012-05-31 21:20:54
    The ACS Education Division has developed a new middle school chemistry resource, "Middle School Chemistry: Big Ideas about the Very Small." This free, six-chapter resource can serve as either a stand-alone chemistry unit or as a supplement to any middle school science curriculum. "Middle School Chemistry" uses a hands-on inquiry approach along with specially designed molecular model animations, to take students from concrete experiences to an understanding of the world of atoms and molecules. Share this free resource with middle school teachers you know.

    The most depressing reagent I worked with was iodotrimethylsilane (TMSI). IIRC even when I distilled it onto copper shot, I could watch the distillate gradually pick up a pink color within minutes. IT gave very variable yields in the reaction I was doing.

  • Meth mouth: not 'toxins', just good ol' tooth decay

    Updated: 2012-05-26 22:59:06
    As a long-time fan of media critic Jack Shafer, I remember well his diatribes against the myth that 'meth mouth' (the tooth decay that afflicts long-time methamphetamine abusers) is caused by the chemistry of methamphetamine or any contaminants from the preparation. The causes (dry mouth and lack of dental care) has been discussed in the [...]

    Updated: 2012-05-22 19:08:00
    (This post was written for the ‘Toxic Chemicals’ carnival, over at ScienceGeist) Let me tell you about the time I broke down crying in lab. No, it wasn’t an epic breakup, or even a death in the family. It was...a nitroolefin. Many summers ago, I worked as a pharma intern, a small flywheel in a then-huge [...]

    Today's guest post is by Fraser Parlane. Many of you most likely deal with gas cylinders. Many of these cylinders have a small window, (or four squares) stamped next to the service dates (these are month, then year). As you can see, this particular bottle dates back to 1945. Of course, this is during WWII era. During the [...]

  • Science for the future

    Updated: 2012-05-15 10:36:26
    A campaign group, calling itself 'Science for the future' is, today, delivering a coffin to Number 10 Downing street in London as a protest against what they claim to be the death of British science. Their concern is that the UK state funded research councils,  (particularly the Engineering and physical sciences research council, (EPRSC) that [...]
