THE ICT WAY

 ABSTRACT – Chemistry in many of it areas becomes quite very abstract for learner to grasp and understand thus very challenging for a teacher to render the content.  PRACTICALS – Practicals in Chemistry learning cannot be compensated by any other instruction medium. They are an essential component of learning chemistry.  MATHEMATICS - It involves a sound understanding of mathematical concepts in learning chemistry.  ANALOGY – Sufficient examples, analogies are needed for a thorough understanding of concepts in chemistry.  SYMBOLS - Use of Symbols and chemical formulas need sufficient exposure for students to have a comfortable rapport with usage of chemistry.

 VISUALS FOR ABSTRACT CONCEPTS – eg. Structure of molecules, atoms, nucleons, atomic orbitals, molecular structures, chemical bonds, lattice structures and many such concepts can be easily demonstrated with help of animations, videos, graphics etc.  VIRTUAL LABS/ DEMO – Many practicals can be done in virtual lab on computer thus saving time and cost and with greater safety.  STORE MANY ANALOGIES – A database of analogies, relavant examples for topics, samplar problems, unique and challenging worked examples can be maintained as a handy resource tool  You can access many educational – chemistry sites f or further information.  Some of the following examples of topic in chemistry and related slides is seen in follow in case.
