Secondary schools

Anatoly K. Babko was bom on October 15, 1905 in the province of Tomsk (Russia) to a railwayman s family. In 1908 the family moved to the Ukraine, where he graduated from secondary school in 1921. In 1922 he was admitted to the Chemistry Department of the Kyiv Polytechnic Institute, and in 1928 he was accepted there for PhD study under the supervision of Professor N.A. Tananaev. In 1930 he became a lecturer at the Kyiv Institute of Food-processing Industry, and in 1934 he was appointed senior lecturer in the Department of Analytical Chemistry at Kyiv. State University where he worked for the rest of his life, working also from 1937 in the Institute of General and Inorganic Chemistry of the Ukrainian Academy of Sciences. 

Physicist Rudolf Julius Emanuel Clausius was born January 2, 1822, in Koeslin, Pomerania, Prussian province (now Koszalin, Poland). He was the sixth son of eighteen children born to teacher and a Protestant minister. Clausius attended gymnasium (secondary school) in Stettin and from 1840 the University in Berlin, where he studied mathematics... 

Integrating Global Environmental Chemistry into Secondary School Curricula... 

Some examples of successful collaborations between chemists and high school teachers were described at the 9th International Conference on Chemical Education (14). Australia (15), Great Britain and Canada all have national efforts underway to improve their secondary school curricula. The long term goal of each is to promote scientific literacy, and each new program draws heavily upon global environmental science for examples that are relevant to students. In each of these... 

Sometimes I asked people to mentor, at other times to find a mentor, and sometimes both options. This approach eventually led to a mentor about eight times out of ten. For the secondary school mentors, a police check was carried out. We were upfront about this, and I hope H deterred unsuitable people.
