Describes the use of balloons to show the shape of atomic orbitals and their orientation in molecules. (MLH)

Describes the construction of teaching models made from a variety of materials such as poker chips and cardboard that illustrate many chemical phenomena, including subatomic particles, molecular structure, solvation and dissociation, and enzyme-substrate interactions. (MLH)

Presents designs for atomic models for building small cyclic molecules and demonstrates their use in the construction of beta-lactam antibiotic structures. (MLH)

Summarizes seven papers presented at the Fourth Biennial Conference on Chemical Education that dealt with the use of non-computer visual aids in teaching chemistry, including slides and molecular models. (MLH)

Describes the use of a Hewlett-Packard 9810A programmable desk calculator with plotter for drawing ball-and-line stereopairs as well as three-dimensional structural formulas which are useful for teaching stereochemical principles and molecular structure. (MLH)

Describes a teaching model that consists of a plywood box containing mechanisms that instruct the student about the technical aspects of an infrared spectrophotometer and how a spectrum is generated. (MLH)
