Support of the Caltech Chemistry Animation Project

加州理工学院化学动画项目结合了加州理工学院教师和学生的技术技能，获得艾美奖的声音编辑，奥斯卡获奖的声音监制，艾美奖获奖的电影编辑，专业的旁白，电影配乐作家，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，准备在全球范围内使用的教学材料，在高中和大学水平。让学生和老师更好地理解化学世界的基本概念。该项目的初始阶段非常成功，目前正在五个国家向超过50万名学生分发。美国国家科学基金会的持续支持使该项目得以完成，从而可以向全世界的教师和学生提供一系列大约10盘录像带，其中包括化学科学的基本概念库。在拟议的项目续篇下即将到来的视频标题中要处理的具体主题包括：原子，分子和摩尔；Lewis点结构与键合；二进制晶体;和亲电芳取代。这些视频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反应等主题，并将补充即将发布的关于周期趋势，杂化和共振以及分子轨道的视频。

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 currently proceeding in five countries to audiences in excess of one-half million students. The continuation of NSF support allows the completion this project so that a series of approximately 10 video tapes, comprising a library of fundamental concepts in the chemical sciences, can be provided to teachers and students worldwide. Specific topics to be dealt with in upcoming video titles under the proposed project continuation include: Atoms, Molecules, and Moles; Lewis Dot Structures and Bonding; Binary Crystals; and Electrophilic Aromatic Substitution. These will complement the existing video titles covering the topics of atomic orbitals, VSEPR, crystals, stereochemistry, nucleophilic substitution, the Diels-Alder reaction, and will also complement the soon-to-be-released videotapes on periodic trends, hybridization and resonance, and molecular orbitals.
