3 Early Chemistries Elementary Through High School 

Chemistry and chemical laboratories have effects on the students and facnlty. An example of this influence is provided by Crump et al. (1996). To assess whether high school chemistry teachers had higher urinary mercury concentrations than other high 

The Ginns and Watters work indicates that science education throughout the education process is critical to honing the problem-solving skills of smdents. The use of laboratory courses augments this necessary dimension in education. 

The low popularity of chemistry at our secondary schools has various causes for example, a too-extensive curriculum and unsatisfactory selection of the teaching material. Teachers often neglect experiments. There is no clear boundary between the chemistry teaching at primary and secondary schools. It seems indispensable to bring the program of chemistry education at the both types of school closer to everyday hfe, including a reasonable proportion of the theory at secondary schools (Pacak, 1994). 

In outline form with references (below) we demonstrate various subject areas of physical science (chemistry, physics, and others) where the use of solvents is invaluable. (This will become the mode of reference presentation during the remainder of the book.) Reading these references, the seminal value of early educational experiences involving concepts and exposure to chemical practice are clear, and it is a short con-cepmal step to link these with solvent usage.
