Comic Book Chemistry

These comic books have turned the periodic table into a chemical playground, and are teaching elementary students college-level chemistry.
by Bryan Nelson

A class with University of Arizona Chemistry instructor, Colleen Kelley, is filled with colorful characters and exciting storylines that translate complex chemistry into comic books. Yes — comic books. About chemistry. Her comics and unique imagination have turned the periodic table into a playground of chemical adventure, and have allowed elementary school students to master concepts often taught at the college level.
