ChemMatters, which is published by the American Chemical Society, is specifically designed for chemistry teachers and students, but anyone with an interest in chemistry will find plenty of fascinating material on the website. Educators may want to begin with the Teacher's Guide section. Here they will find guides to entire issues of ChemMatters, dating back to 2011. Each guide includes analytic questions for students (plus answers), reading strategies, and background information on each of the articles. In addition, the Classroom section offers helpful tips for how to integrate the magazine into classroom activities and lesson plans, while the Archives provide access to back issues. Finally, there are 12 short videos on the site, each corresponding to an article from the magazine. Recent video topics have included the wonders of Graphene and an exegesis of nutritional labels.
