The material known as bouncing putty is also a silicone polymer with the occasional Si—O—B group in the chain, in this case with 1 boron atom to about every 3-100 silicon atoms. The material flows on storage, and on slow extension shows viscous flow. However, small pieces dropped onto a hard surface show a high elastic rebound, whilst on sudden striking they may shatter. The material had some use in electrical equipment, as a children s novelty and as a useful teaching aid, but is now difficult to obtain. 

With the adoption of the ICH CTD from July 2002 and mandatory use in the European Union and Japan from July 2003 (and its use strongly encouraged by the USFDA), aids to finding our way round the CTD are beginning to appear. One of these is produced by Quintiles Regulatory Affairs Europe as a teaching aid and is reproduced in the Regulatory Affairs Journal. ... 

Today a variety of complex methods are used in laboratories. This book describes these methods in a simple, systematic, yet precise, way. Well-balanced introductions are provided for all chromatographic separation techniques and for methods of structure identification. Its many explanations make this book an indispensable teaching aid for aspiring analytical chemists. 

It is recommended that any reader seriously interested in protein adsorption obtain Teaching Aids for Macromolecular Structures 28), which is commercially available for about 20.00. These aids clearly show the dramatic potential of surface protein structural visualization for the development of hypotheses of protein-surface interactions.

Standard operating procedures serve several purposes. Foremost, they require that the process be thoroughly planned, all known safety procedures be incorporated, and the operation made as independant as possible of personnel changes. In the event of an incident they aid in pinpointing the step responsible for the accident (i.e. it helps identify the unsafe act). In the event of injury or loss of equipment, it serves as a legal document to show that all known precautions were employed. It serves as a teaching aid for new employees. 

Bad practice examples carry much more weight as a teaching aid than good practice ones... 

I knew that this approach would ultimately supercede mechanical modeling, particularly when the host s mechanical models became so large and heavy that their physical support and manipulation became a problem. We hke mechanical models because of their transportabihty, their occupation of three dimensions, and their use as a teaching aid, and because handhng them exercises one s tactile procUvities.

This lack is to be remedied through the publication of the Klassiker der exakien Wissenschqften, In convenient format and at reasonable prices, the seminal publications of all the exact sciences will be made available to instructors and students alike. The publisher hopes to create thereby both a teaching aid that gives life and depth to the study of science, as well as a significant research tool for in those fundamental writings lie not only the seeds which have, in the meantime, developed and borne fruit, but also unnumbered other leads that await development. To those whose study and research lie in the sciences, these works offer an inexhaustible source for stimulation and for the advancement of ideas. 

Interdependence of various components of an ecosystem and balance of nature can also be explained interestingly through dramatisation. An imaginative science teacher can think of many such topics which can be taught more effectively through such activities. Thus dramatisation can become an effective teaching aid in teaching science. 

A variety of teaching aids has been discussed in this chapter with some details. It is difficult to select few aids and to say that they are more important than others, or mis should be used more often than others etc. The value of an aid does not depend wholly on its quality itself but it also greatly depends upon the way it is used and the particular time it is used. 

The teaching aids are required by a chemistry teacher, like teachers of other subjects, for effective teaching of subject and to realise various objectives of teaching chemistry. Teaching aids help the teacher to communicate with his students in more desirable and effective way.
