A method of animating two-dimensional line graphs for simulated real-time display of data during lectures is presented. This quick method uses the Custom Animation feature of Microsoft PowerPoint software. It is suitable for animation of voltammograms, chromatograms, heating curves, reaction coordinates, and other time-dependent data.
Supplement
A PowerPoint presentation containing the animations discussed in this paper, along with several others, is available.
The "Chemistry Teacher Connection" (CTC) is especially for high school chemistry teachers. For only $40/year, it offers an online-only subscription to CLIC along with membership in the Division of Chemical Education, normally $65/year. CTC subscribers receive access to all articles and supplements from 1996 through the current issue.
Through special arrangement with the ACS, JCE High School CLIC is now able to provide subscribers with online access to Chemical & Engineering News articles that have been selected specifically for secondary science instructors and their students.
Occasionally, collections of JCE back issues become available for donation to individual teachers, schools, or libraries. JCE matches collections with interested recipients. Recipients pay shipping costs or pick up the collection.
