Unique interactive Chemistry teaching software which tests students as they learn. Starting from very basic principles, the program guides students through all the concepts required for understanding and writing chemical formulae and for Balancing Chemical Equations.
Topics covered include: atoms, elements and symbols, word equations, valency, formulas, writing chemical equations, balancing chemical equations and the formation of ions. Plus interactive simulations to teach the balancing of chemical equations and the formulas of ionic compounds.
Skills are taught through familiar examples, (to help reinforce general chemical knowledge) and by frequent reference to online Periodic Tables.
Use it with a whole class when you can book the computer room!
Great for explaining concepts with the aid of a Projector!
Also an excellent personal tutor for anyone beginning to study Chemistry. Questions constantly test understanding and hints are given where answers are wrong.
