Want to communicate science? ICE can help. The Institute for Chemical Education (ICE) has kits, books, and tools to help you communicate the relevance, excitement and fun of chemistry. You will find short descriptions of each of these publications, grouped by Hands-on Kits and Demos; Hands-on Activity Manuals and How-To Guides; and Books. Single or multiple copies can be ordered from the ICE Online Store, by using our paper order form, or by calling the ICE office.ICE has the experience, materials, and kits that you need to:
- teach about modern materials
- introduce nanoscience
- do relevant hands-on activities
- learn about running a summer chemistry camp
- use hands-on guide(s)
