I am curious if anyone knows any good chemistry articles for high school students to read?

They'd have to be fairly generic (no specific chemistry concepts or in-depth analyses), interesting and short. Something they can read one or two times and then answer questions regarding the importance of what's discussed in the article. If they can break down the method of research that'd be even better.

I remember finding an article on scurvy and it was a nice read for high school students. They could actually read about how the scientific method was used to determine that ascorbic acid deficiency was the cause.

I have a couple of articles that I like, but I was wondering if anyone had any they could think of or link to?


Thank you very much

This site has some interesting ones:

One can search the different departments of the school as well, including Chemistry, biology, robotics, etc; it's surprising how many of their projects overlap with various different subjects.
Good luck!
