Fostering Curiosity-Driven Learning through Interactive Multimedia Representations of Biological Molecules
Abby L. Parrill and Jacquelyn Gervay
The University of Arizona, Department of Chemistry, Tucson, Arizona 85721
Cover
September 1997
Vol. 74 No. 9
p. 1141
Abstract
A series of QuickTime movies have been developed and are available over the World Wide Web (WWW) to help evoke student curiosity about organic chemistry. When viewed in series the movies start with a 'big picture' view based on crystallographic data and narrow in on the basic concepts needed to understand that scientific observation. The topics of this 'big picture' approach are the structure of DNA, protein secondary structure, and changes in geometry as oxygen binds to heme. These movies are available to students at http://www.chem.arizona.edu/courses/chem242/relevance.html as well as being presented in the classroom.
