1. American Chemical Society
2. ACS Division of Chemical Education

1. NSF Pre-College Teacher Development in Science Project (March, 1978)
2. Research and Productive Scholarship Grant sponsored by the University of South Carolina (May, 1978)
3. NSF grant to attend the 13th International Conference in Chemical Education in Puerto Rico, (August, 1994)

1. Baltimore County Public Schools: Organic Chemistry Module, one of ten modules in the county chemistry curriculum (1968)

2. University of Maryland: Interdisciplinary Approach to Chemistry, IAC, high school chemistry program. I reviewed and worked on different aspects of this major project. (1973)

3. Hillsborough Community College: Developed a computer assisted laboratory program that allowed students to get instant feedback on their laboratory results. The program also gave laboratory results to the laboratory instructors.

4. Hillsborough Community College: Designed and organized the Introduction to College Chemistry Course. In addition, I wrote the textbook (see list of publications) for this preparatory chemistry program. (1983)

5. I was the sole author of a general college chemistry textbook that was never published because of the merging of McGraw-Hill and Random House college publishing divisions. It was reviewed through two rounds by more than 10 college chemistry professors. It contains the same material that is found in all general chemistry textbooks, but I had convinced the publishers to cut down the size and provide a softback book with the "extra" material. It was unique because it had a software component--see #6.

6. Wolfe, Drew H. GenChem 1 Software Package Version 2.0. I wrote a complete software package in Turbo Prolog that assisted general chemistry students. It included simulations and databases. This was to accompany the publication of my general chemistry textbook by McGraw-Hill Book Company. (1988)

7. Hillsborough Community College. Laboratory Manual: Introduction to College Chemistry. Boston: Houghton Mifflin. I developed the laboratory program and wrote the laboratory textbook that we presently use in the preparatory course.

8. Logal High School Chemistry Course (Multimedia). Logal Educational Software. Israel/Cambridge, Mass, 1998. I am the principal chemistry content writer for a new complete multimedia high school chemistry program that will available for the 1998-1999 school year. I write the words and suggest the demonstrations, videos, animations, figures, and simulations. The production team at Logal translates this to their Explorer multimedia programming language.
