9354453刘易斯该项目将开发高端工作站质量的计算机图形，以帮助整个本科化学课程的概念教学的可视化。这项工作的目标是专注于视觉演示，实时视觉操作，包括在当前的化学课程的各种概念。具体项目包括原子和分子轨道的三维动画序列，聚合物结构和立体化学的三维视图，介绍有机化学中基本立体化学概念的视频，以及晶体结构和米勒指数平面的动画序列。其他项目包括其他基本的有机转化，周期性趋势和杂交。该项目的具体目标是开发可用于全美课程的材料，并可随时通过计算机磁盘、激光磁盘和录像带分发，以便该项目的努力对全国本科和高中化学课程产生广泛影响。 *y

9354453 Lewis The project will develop high-end workstation quality computer graphics to aid in the visualization of concepts taught throughout an undergraduate chemistry curriculum. The goal of the work is to focus on visual presentations, and real-time visual manipulations, of a variety of concepts that are included in the current chemistry curriculum. Specific projects include 3-dimensional animation sequences of atomic and molecular orbitals, 3-D views of polymer structure and stereochemistry, videos that introduce basic stereochemical concepts in organic chemistry, and animated sequences of crystal structures and Miller index planes. Additional projects include other basic organic transformations, periodic trends, and hybridization. The specific goals of this project are to develop materials that can be used in courses throughout the U.S. and can be readily distributed on computer disks, laser disks, and video tapes, so that the efforts of this project can have a broad impact on the national undergraduate and high school chemistry curriculum. ***y
