About the Chemistry Comes Alive! Series

In Chemistry Comes Alive!, the emphasis is on the chemistry. Reactions are shown close up. Only where scale is important can more than the demonstrator's hands be seen. Many movies in Chemistry Comes Alive! include a voice-over narration. The sound of a reaction is included when it is important. Reactions or demonstrations have been chosen because they illustrate an important aspect of chemistry, involve substances or equipment that are not available in many schools, are hazardous, or cause problems of disposal or cleanup. All are certain to stimulate students' curiosity and help them learn. The Chemistry Comes Alive! series is divided into several CD volumes on related topics as recommended by a group of chemistry educators.

How to Use This CD-ROM

Each Chemistry Comes Alive! CD-ROM is like a World Wide Web site--you can access it with a browser such as Netscape Navigator or Microsoft Internet Explorer. Chemistry Comes Alive!, Volume 5, includes a link to JCE Online where you can find a complete index of all Chemistry Comes Alive! volumes.

The QuickTime movies on this CD-ROM can be played directly using QuickTime MoviePlayer as well as viewed with a WWW browser. The images can be easily incorporated into your multimedia presentations or lessons. Using the Web browser's Bookmark function is particularly convenient for organizing material for a lecture or student lesson. (An additional license must be purchased before you place video from any CCA! volume on your local WWW server.)

Let us know how you use Chemistry Comes Alive! in your classroom. We will share with others contributed ideas, lessons, or instructional materials that utilize Chemistry Comes Alive!
