A PROJECT TO IMPROVE LEARNING IN CHEMISTRY AT EL CAMINO COLLEGE BY INTRODUCING CHEM STUDY FILMS IN THE EIGHT MILLIMETER CARTRIDGE FORM FOR OUT-OF-CLASS USE BY STUDENTS.

THE USE OF SIX 16-MILLIMETER FILMS IN CHEMISTRY CLASSES WAS SUPPLEMENTED BY PURCHASE OF THEIR 8-MILLIMETER CARTRIDGE VERSIONS AND PROJECTION EQUIPMENT TO ENABLE STUDENTS TO VIEW THE FILMS AS AN INDEPENDENT STUDY PROCEDURE. STUDY GUIDES, QUIZZES AND EVALUATION FORMS WERE PREPARED FOR USE BY INDIVIDUAL STUDENTS. TOTAL COST FOR THE PROJECT WAS $1,552. THE FILMS INCLUDED IN THE PROJECT WERE (1) CHEMICAL FAMILIES, (2) EQUILIBRIUM, (3) ACID-BASE INDICATORS, (4) ELECTROCHEMICAL CELLS, (5) CRYSTALS AND THEIR STRUCTURES, AND (6) IONIZATION. EXAMPLES OF THE INSTRUCTIONAL MATERIALS ARE INCLUDED IN THE DOCUMENT. (WO)
