CD-ROM is intended to teach the essentials to students encountering chemistry for the first time, as well as those needing a thorough review before continuing with their science or allied health coursework. Using a highly interactive format, The Chemistry of Life CD-ROM explains and illustrates crucial concepts and principle s such as atomic structure, properties of water, pH, buffers, enzyme function, and the structure and function of macromolecules. Learning is reinforced by presenting students with animations, encouraging interaction, then testing their grasp of the material with interactive quizzes. Features Clear, high-quality animations make complex chemical principles understandable.
Students learn concepts by interacting with the images.
Photos further engage students as they illustrate how chemistry relates to all living things. Interactive quizzes and a final exam give immediate feedback to all responses and link students back to related content. A quiz is available for each lesson topic which can also be used to test students' overall understanding of concepts prior to beginning each lesson. The comprehensive final exam can be used to measure students' overall understanding or as an initial diagnostic to guide their course of study. Quiz and exam results can be tracked over time to record increased understanding and note subjects where further review is needed.
