This CD-ROM allows a student to build their own Periodic Table and react their own atoms. The CD-ROM is divided into three sections: the first is a history of the Periodic Table where the student is given data obtained by early chemists to interpret; the second is where the student is given data such as atomic diameters, ionisation energies, melting temperatures etc and is asked to build a table; the third part asks the student to react any two atoms, sometimes in the right proportions, to form a compound the results being shown graphically or on video image.

The sequel to 'Atoms and Their Electrons'
Caesium and his legion of atoms sets out to conquer the world. Unfortunately as he is trying to capture an iron oxide deposit he is attacked by fighter squadrons of oxygen and water. Magnesium and Iron are oxidised. Sodium is bombed with water. Hydrogen released combines with the Halides. Hydrochloric acid teams up with Water and then neutralises Sodium Hydroxide. In a separate encounter, Chlorine attacks Copper. In solution the Copper ion replaces Zinc but not Silver or Gold. After the battle, Caesium takes his oxidised and reduced troops to Testtubium where Hydrogen, Carbon and Electrolysis repair the damage.

In Fiji the waste from a brewery was causing environmental problems. A boys home project set out to utilise the waste as much as possible. The plant material in the waste was first fed to mushrooms that broke down the lignin. The cellulose could then be digested by pigs. The waste from the pigs went into a tank and generates methane to be used as gas. The digested sludge then grows algae in a pond and fish feed on this. The waste water is clean enough to release into the environment

This programme explores scientific methodology the cornerstone of modern science. The video introduces scientific methodology by describing its development and purpose. Then, using the basic question Do plants need light to grow?, the viewer is given a detailed illustration of how scientific methodology is applied. This includes identifying the problem or question, gathering relevant data, formulating a hypothesis, testing the hypothesis through observation and experimentation, and acceptance, modification or rejection of the hypothesis. The concepts of theory and scientific law are also addressed. This video is a useful tool for introducing young students to the concept of scientific method, or for refreshing the knowledge of students looking to understand more.
