Peer reviewedCoffman, Joy; Tanis, David O. – Science Teacher, 1990
Presented is an analogy that can be used to explain the particle theory of matter. The three phases of matter are represented by preschoolers, yuppies, and senior citizens. The value of using analogies is discussed. (KR)

Peer reviewedBlickensderfer, Roger – Journal of Computers in Mathematics and Science Teaching, 1990
Presented are several simple kinetic systems together with the spreadsheets used to solve them. A set of exercises in chemical kinetics appropriate for an introductory course in physical chemistry is given. Error propagation calculations with experimental data are illustrated. (CW)

Peer reviewedZielinski, Theresa Julia – Journal of Chemical Education, 1995
Explains how the Mathcad computer program can promote the development of higher-order chemical thinking skills of students taking junior-level physical chemistry courses. The kinetics of first-order series and reversible reactions is used as an example of how this can be implemented within an interactive laboratory or lecture format. (PVD)
