The Caltech Chemistry Animation Project

化学(12)加州理工学院化学动画项目结合了加州理工学院教职员工和学生的技术技能，包括艾美奖获奖音效编辑、奥斯卡获奖音效主管、艾美奖获奖电影剪辑师、专业解说员、电影配乐作者、好莱坞特效行业的计算机图形人员，以及先进的计算机工作站，以准备正在全球范围内使用的高中和大学水平的教学材料，使学生和教师更好地理解他们的化学世界的基本概念。该项目的初期阶段非常成功，目前已在7个国家向100多万名学生分发了材料。这一项目的继续使我们能够完成一系列约15盘录像带，包括一个化学科学基本概念图书馆，供世界各地的教师和学生使用。正在制作的新视频包括：原子、分子和摩尔；化学热力学；光谱和分子运动；点群、对称性和群论；二元晶体；以及DNA/RNA/蛋白质。这些将补充现有的视频标题，涵盖原子轨道、VSEPR、晶体、立体化学、亲核取代、Diels-Alder反应、周期趋势和分子轨道等主题。

Chemistry (12)The Caltech Chemistry Animation Project combines the technical skills of faculty and students at Caltech with Emmy-award winning sound editors, Oscar-winning sound supervisors, Emmy-winning film editors, professional narrators, film score writers, computer graphics personnel from the Hollywood special effects industry, and advanced computer workstations to prepare instructional materials that are being used worldwide, at the high school and college levels, to allow students and teachers to understand better the fundamental concepts in their chemical world. The initial stages of this project have been highly successful, with distribution of materials currently proceeding in seven countries to audiences in excess of one million students. The continuation of this project is allowing us to complete a series of approximately 15 video tapes, comprising a library of fundamental concepts in the chemical sciences, for use by teachers and students worldwide. New videos being produced include: Atoms, Molecules, and Moles; Chemical Thermodynamics; Spectroscopy and Molecular Motion; Point Groups, Symmetry and Group Theory; Binary Crystals; and DNA/RNA/Proteins. These will complement the existing video titles covering the topics of Atomic Orbitals, VSEPR, Crystals, Stereochemistry, Nucleophilic Substitution, the Diels-Alder Reaction, Periodic Trends, and Molecular Orbitals.
