Technology was integrated into service-learning activities to create an interactive teaching method for undergraduate students at a large research institution. Chemistry students at the University of Central Florida partnered with high school students at Crooms Academy of Information Technology in interactive service learning projects. The…

Two computer programs have been written in BASIC as a teaching aid for instruction of HNC, HND, and degree students in enzyme kinetics. (BB)

Describes an undergraduate physical chemistry experiment in which the kinetics of the various reactions involved in the flash photolysis of water are analyzed on a computer. (MLH)

Discusses the use of the System Dynamics technique in simulating a chemical reaction for kinetic analysis. Also discusses the use of simulation modelling in biology, ecology, and the social sciences, where experimentation may be impractical or impossible. (MLH)

Describes a computer software program that simulates each step of the glycolytic enzyme pathway. Serves as a means of providing interactive learning for undergraduate biochemistry students with the aim of better preparing them for laboratory work. (Author/CCM)

Describes a computer simulation experiment in which physical chemistry students can determine all of the kinetic parameters of a reaction, such as order of the reaction with respect to each reagent, forward and reverse rate constants for the overall reaction, and forward and reverse activation energies. (MLH)

Reviews a noncommercial educational game (Polymerlab) and changes made in GASLAWS (adaptation of mainframe program used in computer-assisted instruction). Describes programs on simulation of molecular speed distributions; interfacing microcomputers to make laboratory measurements; a course in microcomputer-instrument interfacing and measuring and…

Describes the use of computer-assisted graphical displays in experiments to determine the order and activation energy for a chemical reaction. (MLH)

Describes a kinetic simulation computer program that generates experimental data for use in an instructional program on the design of experiments and the analysis of results. (MLH)

Describes a computer program that teaches the concept of spatial distributions of atoms in a molecule and another program that simulates the kinetic progress of a chemical reaction. (MLH)

This booklet is one of a set of eight designed to be used in a self-paced introductory chemistry course in conjunction with specified textbooks and computer-assisted instruction (CAI) modules. Each topic is introduced with a textbook reading assignment and additional readings are provided in the booklet. Also included are self-tests (and answers),…

Describes programs that have been developed to allow kinetic experiments to be simulated on a small computer. Reports the principles that have guided the conception of the programs and describes an instance of their application to a complex reaction. (Author/GS)
