Learning aids

The earliest ball and stick models were exactly that wooden balls in which holes were drilled to ac commodate dowels that connected the atoms Plastic versions including relatively inexpensive student sets became available in the 1960s and proved to be a valuable learning aid Precisely scaled stainless steel framework and plastic space filling models although relatively expensive were standard equipment in most research laboratories... 

Toolboxes summarize major types of calculations, demonstrating the connections between concepts and problem solving. They are designed as learning aids and handy summaries of key material. Each... 

Listed in the paragraphs that follow are the names, symbols, and usual electrical charges for 30 common positive ions, and the names and formulas for 37 common acids that are frequently mentioned in this text. You should memorize these so as to have them at instant recall the use of flash cards or other foreign-language learning aids is recommended (computer-generated drill programs also are helpful). Aside from the direct intrinsic value of these names and formulas, you can reason out from them the names and formulas of almost 50 bases and over 1600 different salts, none of which should be memorized.

Body paragraph three discussion of learning aids... 

Need for Improvisation India is a poor country and so we have only limited financial resources. For imparting effective and efficient science education, due to this financial constraint we require the production of improvised and inexpensive learning aids. A teacher with some ingenuity and manual skill can make a number of valuable and serviceable articles from discarded things all around him. For this purpose every science room should be equipped with a work bench and a kit of tools that may be used by students and teacher in making and improvising equipment for chemistry teaching. 

It refers to those learning aids which are prepared from simple and readily available cheap material by students and teacher. 

Charles Henrickson received his Ph.D. in chemistry from the University of Iowa with additional study at the University of Illinois, Urbana and the University of California, Berkeley. He has authored or coauthored several widely used learning aids and laboratory manuals in chemistry as well as a textbook. Dr. Henrickson is a professor of chemistry, emeritus at Western Kentucky University in Bowling Green, Kentucky. 

Principles of General Chemistry is a powerhouse of pedagogy. All the learning aids that students find so useful in the parent text have been retained—Concepts and Skills to Review, Section Summaries, Key Terms, Key Equations, and Brief Solutions to Follow-up Problems. In addition, two new aids help students further focus their efforts ... 

Computers have been tested for their feasibility as learning aids for approximately two decades now. 

Sixth, Appendix I is an updated list of key drugs that appear frequently in board and course examination questions with concise key word descriptions of their characteristics. This learning aid serves also as an efficient flash-card list of the drugs and those drug properties most likely to appear on an examination. 

This sets the context of this book. The power of the modem spreadsheet is applied to make familiar fundamental concepts of Basis Set theory, which is at the heart of modem Molecular Orbital theory. There are over 100 fully interactive EXCEL files on the CD supplied with this book. You can treat the CD as a learning aid and simply open and consult each file during your study of the various topics discussed in the text. There is a separate folder for each chapter and the corresponding figure numbers of the illustrations in the text identify the spreadsheets.
