One of the goals of chemistry education is to connect the macroscopic perspective with the microscopic perspective. The model is a tool to connect these two perspectives and based on observing and understanding scientific phenomena that occurs in the natural world. In a science classroom, the model can be used as a tool of communication to explain...

The Silences of the Archives, the Reknown of the Story.
The Martin Guerre affair has been told many times since Jean de Coras and Guillaume Lesueur published their stories in 1561. It is in many ways a perfect intrigue with uncanny resemblance, persuasive deception and a surprizing end when the two Martin stood face to face, memory to memory, befor...
