- Overview
- A unique interactive Multimedia Chemistry Tutor which tests students as they learn
- (it uses the internal speaker if you don't have a soundcard). As far as possible,
- skills are taught through familiar examples, to help reinforce general chemical
- knowledge. New concepts are taught by frequent reference to the online Periodic
- Tables. The eight units are: Word Equations; Elements and Symbols; Valency
- and Formulas; Models of Reacting Molecules (molecular models); Symbol Equations;
- Atomic Structure; Formation of Ions; Ions, Formulas and Equations.
-
- Options
- There is an option to 'trap' the user within a unit once started (to help
- teachers ensure that pupils stay on task), with a password required to exit.
- The decision whether to trap users and the password can be changed by running
- the program 'options.exe'(click on the 'Change Options' icon in the 'Atoms
- Symbols & Equations' group or folder).
-

- Almost any computer running Windows 3.1/Win 95 or above (PC 386 or above, 4mb ram,
- vga/svga monitor).
