On behalf of the Ad Hoc Committee for Solid-State Instructional Materials, it is a pleasure to acknowledge the National Science Foundation (Grant USE—9150484), the Camille and Henry Dreyfus Foundation, the American Chemical Society, the Dow Chemical Company Foundation (Solid-State Model Kit), the University of Wisconsin—Madison Outreach Program (Solid-State Model Kit), and the Institute for Chemical Education for their generous support of this project. 

Even an amateur without big bucks can break into the field—with a kit demonstrating the Meissner effect of magnetic levitation. For twenty-five dollars, the Institute for Chemical Education at the University of Wisconsin will send superconductor buffs a kit that includes a 1-inch...

The Institute for Chemical Education at the University of Wisconsin [5] offers slides that allow one to illustrate the optical interference in the classroom. When a laser pointer is passed through the transform on the slide the diffraction pattern is observed. By changing the color of the laser the effect of wavelength can be demonstrated. The effect of patterns in the transform can readily be seen in the diffraction. This is a very useful way to illustrate how diffraction works beyond Bragg s Law.

The authors thank Dr. Minoru Kanehisa, Institute for Chemical Research, Kyoto University, for his valuable discussions for searching for and Interpretation of sequence similarity by IDEAS system. This work was partly supported by a research grant from the Ministry of Education, Japan. 

Another specific mechanism for Interaction could be the proposed Institute of Chemical Education at the University of Wisconsin. The staff there, led by Professor Shakashlrl, are actively developing plans for such an Institute. The ACS Division of Chemical Education, the Society Committee on Education, and the Board of Directors have endorsed the plan seemingly Its time has come. Industry should also support the concept of this institute this is a logical focus for academic-Industrial interaction. This kind of institute, common in the research area, would be a very real plus in developing new approaches in chemical education.
