"The World of Chemistry: Selected Demonstrations and Animations, Part II" is the second video laserdisc issue of JCE: Software with a selection of demonstrations and animations taken from the video component of The World of Chemistry telecourse. This video series provides a new dimension to the teaching of chemistry by the extensive use of demonstrations, animation, interviews, and real-life stories. The video serves as the vehicle to transport the student upon alternative roads--avenues that cannot be explored otherwise in the classroom.
