feature summary:
interactive
and animated – like a set of really useful colour slides for a computer projector,
large display or whiteboard to help students
visualise the concepts and chemicals of organic
chemistry.
mechanisms –
hand crafted step-by-step mechanisms
for you to talk through in your style. Curved
arrows pre-empt which electrons will ‘move’.
A smart slider gives you control and repeats a
step interactively. Here is electrophilic addition,
and the rest, at their best.
experiments –
lest students forget this is chemistry, we show
equations beside their reagents. As they’d
need when revising or revisiting, they see reactants
heated or otherwise without need for goggles or
gas masks. The experiments will fuel discussions about safety
models –
featured all through are 3D industry-standard
‘MDL Chime models’ that are the fabric
of chemistry on the world wide web. As in universities
and industry, you can measure the models, move
and see them beside their 2D friends. Our
tutorial gives you the skills needed in a minute.
We use ‘Chime’ to compare isomers,
show a functional group or ‘see’ electron
density and hydrogen bonding. The models work
just as they do on the web – so you can
save them to a file and manipulate them further.
fast – life
is busy enough so each of these lovely interactives
take just minutes of lesson time. Use one to make a
point and then get on and do what you normally do!
easy – you
will not need a manual to teach with our software.
Just click the red coloured items – each time you
click ‘red’, we drive the animation
to the next step. This focuses attention, avoids now-what-do-i-do and lets
everyone concentrate on the chemistry.
challenging puzzles for students – let the students use it – ask them
to play teacher and enjoy how well they take to
the challenge. Read on for more about this
in teaching
in a nutshell – over two hundred
resources beautifully organised and ready to help
in today’s lesson. For more about this ground-breaking
