ActivChemistry™ Website: http://heg-school.awl.com/bc/companion/actchem/ac.htm. Available on CD-ROM, this interactive software-now with twelve tutorial lessons on major chemistry topics-allows students to easily conduct simulations at both the bulk and atomic level, see relationships between the macroscopic and microscopic worlds, and have fun while tackling often difficult content. Students are initially guided through the main concepts of the general chemistry course via lessons based on engaging, real-life situations. With this understanding of basic concepts, they are then encouraged to explore more freely in the Work Bench area. Tutorial lessons were written by expert general chemistry instructors. A Lesson Author's Guide is built into the program, and illustrates how, with simple word processing ability, anyone can easily customize or write their own lessons. For use with any general chemistry textbook, ActivChemistry™ is an ideal complement to lecture or lab and an excellent study tool for students.

Students can build their chemistry vocabulary by exploring the interactive periodic table, the on-line glossary, and the reaction database. Pg.___

Realistic simulation in the Work Bench area allows open-ended exploration and discovery. Students can select a variety of tools, components, and an innovative periodic table to simulate reactions in general chemistry. Pg.___

ActivChemistry™ is based on a rich database that allows professors to create their own simulations and exercises. Pg.___

Lesson-Authoring Guide gives tips to instructors to alter existing lessons and create new ones. Pg.___

Built-in homework problems in each lesson make incorporating ActivChemistryTM into the classroom simple and easy. All questions and answers can be saved and/or printed. Pg.___

Flexible design aids in curriculum integration. Instructors can assign lessons or create their own. Pg.___

Fun graphics and sounds clearly illustrate concepts and motivate students while reinforcing material.
