Abstract
Chemistry has a rich history of people who have made exciting discoveries and important contributions to society. Achievements include the development of well known items such as Tide laundry detergent and Scotch Tape as well as less familiar happenings such as the discovery of helium in natural gas. The American Chemical Society (ACS) National Historic Chemical Landmark program identifies and pays homage to this history. ACS has declared more than 60 places, discoveries, and achievements historic chemical landmarks. This is fertile ground for teachers to find examples relevant to their teaching.
