Flying over Atoms is a CD-ROM for Mac OS and
Windows that provides tools for teaching about atoms
and solid surfaces in an introductory chemistry course.
Flying over Atoms introduces and stimulates interest
in atomic surfaces and current methods for imaging at
the atomic scale.
Flying over Atoms uses scanning tunneling
microscope (STM) data and the software program Vistapro,
published by Rom Tech, Inc. (not provided), to allow
students to create QuickTime movies of atomic landscapes.
Several sample movies created using Vistapro by the
author and his students at Laconia High School are provided
on the CD as are an introduction to scanning tunneling
microscopy, a lesson plan, and STM images and data files.
