The ChemEd X collection of resources listed below constitute what was formerly known as JCE Web Software. We are delighted to be able to make these resources available to the ChemEd X community.
The "Chemical Adventures of Sherlock Holmes" has been made into the first virtual issue of the Journal of Chemical Education at ACS Publications. It is no longer available in print form.
A measured value has little or no true meaning and thus, it is useless, unless the figures (digits) in that value were deemed to be significant and the significant figures were properly determined and reported. Deciding the appropriate number of significant figures for the reporting of numerical data is not an obvious or easy task.
The Polymer Primer is an overview of polymer chemistry and engineering. It is one hundred pages in overall length, and introduces the student to both the chemical and engineering aspects of polymer science. It includes common polymerization approaches, polymer properties, terminology, and applications.
If you are involved in the training of teaching assistants, you will find an able assistant in this 40-page e-booklet, Handbook for Teaching Assistants. The TA Handbook includes the topics:
Inorganic Molecules: A Visual Data Base contains text and graphics describing 66 molecules and ions commonly used as examples in general chemistry courses. For each molecule, fifteen molecular properties are presented visually by eight or nine different molecular models created by the CAChe Scientific Molecular Modeling program.
Lake Study for Windows is a two-part simulation designed to involve students with the scientific method. It allows them to collect data, formulate hypotheses, and test the hypotheses with controlled experiments.
Periodic Table Live! may not include everything you ever wanted to know about the elements, but it will probably answer any question you aren't afraid to ask. The third edition includes a new interactive graphing and sorting capability.
