On The Cutting Edge: Teaching Mineralogy, Petrology, And Geochemistry
April 2007, Vol. 3, No. 2
New advances in research on learning have important implications for teaching mineralogy, petrology, and geochemistry. Effective instructional practices are increasingly student centered, address diverse student learning styles, and employ a variety of active-learning strategies. Teaching practices should be redirected from learning about science to learning to be scientists, emphasizing inquiry, discovery, critical thinking, problem solving, and the skills required to observe, analyze, and interpret the world around us. This issue of Elements describes some of these findings and provides examples of how they can be applied to teaching mineralogy, petrology, and geochemistry.

Arsenic, April 2006, Vol. 2, No. 2
$20.00Arsenic is an element known throughout history as a classic poison. Currently, very small but highly significant concentrations of this element in drinking water supplies are causing massive health problems to many millions of people in some of the world’s poorest nations, and more localised sources related to mining and processing are also a concern.
