Ordering Information



In this special issue, Nava Ben-Zvi and Lisa Ragsdale have carefully selected demonstrations and animations from The World of Chemistry and put them into a format that allows teachers to access each video segment rapidly. In the documentation each video segment is numbered and segments are grouped by order and by subject. For each set of segments the following information is provided: a general title, The World of Chemistry original video program from which they are excerpted, key concepts, suggestions on use and if the students ask the equation for the reaction performed. This information is followed by the full script of the segment in which the key concepts are in bold letters.

The demonstrator who appears on this videodisc is Donald Showalter, demonstrator for The World of Chemistry video series. Showalter is currently a professor of chemistry at the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point and is a frequent presenter at chemical education workshops throughout the United States.

Hardware and Software Requirements

"The World of Chemistry: Selected Demonstrations and Animations I" is a 12-in., double-sided, 60-minute, CAV-type videodisc. It may be operated from any videodisc player using the hand-held remote-control keypad and entering a frame number from the Video Image Directory provided and then playing the video sequence that begins with that frame.

To make the video presentation visible to students in a classroom either a large-screen color monitor or a color video projection unit will be needed. The size of the monitor (or the need for a projection unit) depends on the size of the class to which the presentation will be made.

Note: This disc complies with NTSC standards and thus is incompatible with the PAL standard used on the videodisc players in many European countries.
