ACS National Meeting ■
CHED-Sponsored Workshop
Location: Radisson Barcelo Hotel, Lake Chase Room
Sunday, April 7, 1:30–4:30 p.m. Enliven Your Classroom with JCE’s Chemistry Comes Alive!
Chemistry Comes Alive! provides a wealth of digital videos and still images that show chemistry close up in exciting detail. Over 800 video clips (most with sound) and thousands of pictures are available to enliven your classroom presentations and online resources. You will learn how to incorporate these pictures and videos into major word processing documents, presentations, and WWW pages. Projects (ChemPages Laboratory, General Chemistry Multimedia Problems, Periodic Table Live!) that have used images from Chemistry Comes Alive! will also be demonstrated. You will leave with a clear understand-
ing of how to find images and videos in Chemistry Comes Alive! and use them in your teaching. If you have a laptop computer with a CD player, bring it for a hands-on experience; however, a computer is not essential because participants will share computers by working in small groups. Presenters are Jon Holmes and John Moore (University of Wisconsin–Madison). Preregistration is required via email by March 22, 2002; attendance is limited to 30. Contact Jon Holmes, phone: 608/262-5153; fax: 608/265-8094; email:

“Acidic coomassie blue solutions are brown (see below). Upon addition of a protein solution, the dye binds to the protein and changes the color of the solution. The amount of color change is dependent on the concentration of the added protein. The more protein that is added, the deeper the blue color.”
Lecture presentations often render students near comatose. Upon addition of Chemistry Comes Alive!, lectures become lively. The more Chemistry Comes Alive! that is added, the livelier the presentation becomes. Try it!
