“The emerging consensus among educators is that students need early, engaging experiences in the lab — and much more mentoring than most of them receive now — to maintain their interest and inspire them to take up careers in the sciences.”  New York Times article, How to Educate Young Scientists, July 3, 2006.

 

Dave Hanson’s Foundations of Chemistry provides many engaging
