This CD-ROM is no longer available. It has been replaced by the 'Chemistry Set 2000' CD-ROM. The above details are for reference only
This new CD-ROM from New Media draws on five years experience to make sure that its database is Y2K compliant and is optimised for GCSE and A-level chemistry. It follows on from the Chemistry Set published in 1993 and sold in more than 35 countries world wide.
For demonstration to a class or group the videos and interactive 3 D molecules play full screen size; bookmarking facilities enable the user to put together a sequence of screens; and user spreadsheets and graphs.
The CD-ROM can be used as a personal reference tool: the new search facility allows the user to type in a word and then select the best reference from those displayed; and user book marking of key topics for further use.
For students to use as a learning tool for individual and group study: students can seek information without having to know where it will be on the disc; easier and more informative browsing; and clear illustrated exposition of key concepts, some with video clips and animations.
The chemistry set 2000 CD-ROM also contains: over 500,000 words; 684 terms explained through a glossary; 188 maps-one for every country in the world; 677 photographs of minerals, great chemists, chemistry in use etc; 816 3D molecular images; 323 video clips: and 93 graphic images.

The following is a collection of CD-ROMs designed to compliment teaching in the classroom.
This CD-ROM enables students to analyse data on the elements quickly and easily. Whether students wish to find out how melting points vary through the periodic table or how the densities of the halogens change as they go down the group, students will find that Elements Analyser will take the leg work out of plotting graphs and drawing tables.

It is a fact that students often struggle with the theory behind rates of reaction experiments. These interactive animations enable students to alter the temperature, concentration or surface area and show how the rate to reaction changes. Graphs show how the concentrations of the products and reactants change. The CD-ROM enables teachers and students alike to run theoretical experiments in advance of classroom practice or to confirm experimental results.

Key Concepts in Science Multimedia CD-ROMs developed in co-operation with teachers specifically for use in the classroom, with the aim of improving students understanding of difficult concepts in science. They are designed to provide the levels of fun and engagement students expect from the best multimedia while communicating difficult concepts at the heart of the science curriculum.
Each disc contains amongst others: animations; interactive activities; opportunities for independent learning; videos of experiments; handouts; revision activities; key point summaries; and photographs and graphics.
Animations show how particles behave in the three states of matter and how this explains the properties of solids, liquids and gases. More animations show how the behaviour of the particles alters and substances change state. Each step of the way has a follow up activity and the theory is always related to everyday experiences.

This disc was made in response to teachers requests for help in this difficult subject. The CD-ROM connects animations of the processes involved in electrolysis to videos of the actual phenomena. Also tackled are why some materials conduct electricity and others do not, and how electrolysis is used in the real world. This disc does not shirk from tackling this difficult topic, but is engaging and memorable.
