ChemMatters

Subscription Overview

Your AACT membership includes a one-year, individual subscription to ChemMatters, the award-winning magazine that helps students make connections between chemistry and the world around them. Each issue includes articles you can integrate into your daily instruction and an accompanying online Teacher’s Guide, which contains follow-up hands-on activities, classroom demonstrations, article background information, and other resources.

Members will receive an issue of the magazine four times during the school year: October, December, February, and April. The magazine is now available in print and digital format. Members can choose to receive the print edition, digital edition, or print + digital edition (at no extra charge).*

From DVD to Digital Archive

Previously, this content was available as a DVD, but we've compiled everything here on the AACT website for your convenience. You can browse all archive issues starting from the first issue in 1983! You can also print out articles as needed and give your students access via our Student Pass feature.
