Classical Description of the Harmonic Oscillator - is based on an introductory Mathcad exercise for Physical Chemistry. The exercise allows students to create an animation of the harmonic oscillator based on its trajectory equation, and is designed to help them visualize an otherwise abstract mathematical equation. Bayou Description - is used in conjunction with bayou water quality analysis in Chem 302. The activity is intended to incorporate a subject with real-world relevance in the laboratory course on Quantitative Analysis. Students write a detailed description of their sampling site.
Students write a summary of the experiments.
