Designed to help teachers supplement science curricula with human
stories of discovery in the chemical sciences, Chemical Achievers
presents the lives and work of two types of achievers—the historical greats, such as Robert Boyle and Joseph Priestley, and several modern-day scientists, including Glenn Seaborg and Stephanie
Kwolek, who have made
contributions of special relevance to modern life and the
career choices students will make. Over 150 images can be easily reproduced as visual teaching aids for use in the classroom. Show your students the giants behind
the chemical sciences!
