Promoting Higher-Order Thinking Skills: Uses of Mathcad and Classical Chemical Kinetics To Foster Student Development.

Zielinski, Theresa Julia

Journal of Chemical Education, v72 n7 p631-38 Jul 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)
