About the Cover:

The pennies on this month's cover seem to have undergone transmutation into gold long sought after by ancient alchemists. They are, however, the results of a more mundane series of reactions that nevertheless provide a "golden" opportunity for teachers. Several articles in this issue relate to the use of alchemical ideas in today's classroom (see In This Issue, page 382).
