Suggests ways in which the "drinking duck," a seemingly self-propelled duck toy, can be used to illustrate the principles of phase equilibria and thermodynamics. (MLH)

Presents several demonstrations in spectroscopy. (RH)

Presents five demonstrations for use in chemistry classes. Materials needed, procedures, and explanations are included. (RH)

Describes a machine which demonstrates the statistical bases of chemical equilibrium, and in doing so conveys insight into the connections among statistical mechanics, quantum mechanics, Maxwell Boltzmann statistics, statistical thermodynamics, and transition state theory. (GA)

Presents the following chemistry lecture demonstrations and experiments: (1) a versatile kinetic demonstration; (2) the Bakelite Demonstration; (3) applying Beer's law; and (4) entropy calculations. (HM)

Presents some ideas and demonstrations in college chemistry. (HM)

Introduces an approach to teaching amino acids that employs the use of a poem containing information on the structure and properties of amino acids, and of slides illustrating the poem. Student response to the method was positive. (MA)

Video cassette demonstrations are useful in teaching experimental techniques and instrumentation. This article describes how the recorded demonstrations save instructor and student time, how they can be integrated into a multimedia teaching format, and how recordings support student independence. (Author/BB)

Two demonstrations are described which are suitable for introductory chemistry classes. The first involves the precipitation of silver, and the second is a demonstration of the relationship between rate constants and equilibrium constants using water and beakers. (BB)

Suggestions on the preparation of various kinds of glass and a demonstration of burning magnesium and dry ice are presented. (CP)

Tested demonstrations on (a) color development through the formation of subtractive primary dyes and (b) fluidity of gases are presented. (CP)
