Share Educational Resources from ACS with your Favorite Teacher

This fall, help the teachers you know by introducing them to the outstanding resources developed by the American Chemical Society.

To help you spread the word, we’ve created a couple of flyers you can give to kindergarten through high school teachers describing ACS education resources. We will also offer some of our best resources at a discount during the months of September and October.

You might know a middle school teacher that might benefit from Inquiry in Action, a teacher’s guide to inquiry-based investigations that teaches chemistry principles through experimentation and hands-on learning. Or, perhaps you know a high school chemistry teacher who would enjoy a gift subscription to ChemMatters, a publication that investigates the chemistry of everyday phenomena for high school students.

In addition to sharing resources, you can improve science education by offering your time and expertise. You might give a science presentation to a group of elementary students or answer chemistry questions from a class of middle school students throughout the year. Visit the Kids & Chemistry section of the ACS website for presentation ideas and sample activities that you can use to introduce chemistry to students in your community.

Feel free to contact the staff of the Kids & Chemistry Office at kids@acs.org for ideas and to report the great work you do. Your gifts and time will definitely be appreciated by teachers and students this year and for years to come!
