The Chemistry Department at Chicago State University invites teachers from the public and the private schools in the Chicago Illinois Metropolitian area of middle and elementary students to explore the world of chemistry this summer. This inservice will provide teachers an opportunity to learn hands on chemistry and how to implement some of the experiments in their classrooms. Teachers will spend one week learning the theory and laboratory components of the program, and then will spend a second week applying the program to a classroom situation with actual 5th through 8th graders at the 2000 Chemistry Camp Program at Chicago State University. This program is made possible through grants from The Illinois Board of Higher Education, and the Institute for Chemical Education (ICE) of the University of Wisconsin
