Abstract
The transcript of the inventory of the contents of a 17th century apothecary’s shop was discovered during research for a museum exhibition on health and disease through the ages. This led to research into the remedies dispensed by the apothecary, which provided the impetus for development of public-engagement deliverables, including interdisciplinary talks, chemistry demonstrations, a searchable record of the contents of the inventory, and production of an accessible local-history booklet. The approach taken used history as a gateway to introduce chemistry and inspire people of all ages to engage with science. Detailed instructions are provided for four striking chemical demonstrations centered around apothecaries and exploiting some of the substances present in the inventory.
期刊介绍：
The Journal of Chemical Education is the official journal of the Division of Chemical Education of the American Chemical Society, co-published with the American Chemical Society Publications Division. Launched in 1924, the Journal of Chemical Education is the world’s premier chemical education journal. The Journal publishes peer-reviewed articles and related information as a resource to those in the field of chemical education and to those institutions that serve them. JCE typically addresses chemical content, activities, laboratory experiments, instructional methods, and pedagogies. The Journal serves as a means of communication among people across the world who are interested in the teaching and learning of chemistry. This includes instructors of chemistry from middle school through graduate school, professional staff who support these teaching activities, as well as some scientists in commerce, industry, and government.
