Ordering Information



This special issue contains selected demonstrations and animations from The World of Chemistry, in a format that allows teachers to access the video rapidly. In the User's Manual each video chapter is numbered and grouped by order and by subject. For each Chapter the following information is provided: a general title, the barcode of the beginning frame, The World of Chemistry original video program from which it is excerpted, key concepts, suggestions on use and if the students ask equations for any reactions performed. This information is followed by the full script of the segment, with key concepts in bold letters.

The demonstrator is Donald Showalter, Professor of Chemistry at the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point and a frequent presenter at chemical education workshops throughout the United States.

Hardware and Software Requirements

"The World of Chemistry: Selected Demonstrations and Animations II" is a 12-in., double-sided, 60-minute, CAV-type videodisc in NTSC format (it is incompatible with the PAL standard used in many European countries). It may be operated from any videodisc player using a hand-held remote-control keypad or a barcode reader.

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.
