| Students View Atoms in Three Dimensions - 05/14/2004 - East Dorset, VT. May 14, 2004- How can science teachers today bring chemistry textbooks to life for their students? The key lies in the ability to visualize atoms and molecules in three dimensions, says Dr. Joseph LeFevre, associate professor of chemistry at the State University of New York in Oswego. A robust educational software tool called MoluCAD does just that, allowing students to finally "see" molecules and begin to understand how they interact.
Students create, rotate, label, evaluate, and zoom in on 3D molecules with this graphically powerful science tool. But don't let these advanced features intimidate you-- the program is very easy to use. Dr. LeFevre found it to be an especially useful tool when he tested it with his students, and found many advantages over the ball-and-stick model kits often used in chemistry classrooms. With MoluCAD, students can carefully construct molecules and compounds and then save them to a disk to be studied and reviewed later. I ... |
| Creating New Experiments in the Field of Science with Science Diagrams - 01/11/2006 - Sunderland, VT. January 11, 2006- A new way to both learn and teach the mechanics of science has been created through Tool Factory's new program Science Diagrams. With the ease and wide array of clipart, teachers and students can access an assortment of pre-designed science diagrams, as well as create a few of their very own to save to the clipart library. Subjects such as chemistry, physics, optics, biology and more are explored in this program. This product is great for children designing their own experiments as well as teachers creating visual learning worksheets for students. According to Mike Smith, 30 year science teaching veteran: "Science Diagrams effortlessly allows construction and customizing of flow charts, cycles, and other science algorithms to suit any level of instruction."
Create a chemistry experiment showing the intricate set up of beakers, tubing, flasks and burners. Highlight different aspects of the earth during solar eclipses, or with the ... |
