Cure
The American Chemical Society Programs (ACS) offers a wide variety of programs and publications designed to improve precollege science education. The focus here is on three national programs in which scientists play important roles:

• In "Kids & Chemistry," scientists visit classrooms or informal education settings involving children between 9 and 12 years of age to do demonstrations and lead small groups of students in hands-on activities.
• In Project SEED, research scientists act as mentors to economically disadvantaged high-school students during the summer.
• In Operation Chemistry, scientists are members of teams that provide professional development to grades 4-8 chemistry teachers.
