Thanks to a gift to the College-University Resource Institute from the Jessie Ball duPont Fund, 38 Historically Black Colleges have received and used gift copies of modular chemistry laboratory experiments developed by LINDA SCHWAB AND MARGARET FLOWERS. These and other modules developed by faculty in the Women in Chemistry Consortium have been used not only in first-and second-year chemistry laboratories, but also in other laboratory courses ranging from forensic science to plant biology. The effort to adapt such interdisciplinary, inquiry-drive experiments to the high school and middle school level began last summer with the initial sessions of the New Pathways to Chemistry project. A meeting in Washington, DC, in June, chaired by Professor Schwab and Nancy Habenicht (Science Coordinator, St. Catherine's School, Richmond, VA), brought together college faculty and teachers from four area sites to plan the adaptation and use of experiments. Professor Flowers consulted with those groups interested in exploring themes related to biology. 
The Wells College phase of the project took place in August, 1996, and included Professors Schwab and Flowers, James Overhiser (Groton Central School), Sonia Sorochinsky (Southern Cayuga Central School), Stephanie Walker `96, and selected area students, who worked on four extended experimental modules for grade levels elementary, middle, high school, and A.P. chemistry.
