Physical Chemistry

Physical chemistry help with our award-winning interactive physical chemistry learning tutorial featuring quizzes with feedback, simulations, and other exercises to help with difficult topics in physical chemistry. These tutorials were created in partnership with Houghton Mifflin publishers.

Educational Physical Chemistry Interactive Tutorial

"....MCH has improved its already excellent interactive instruction to produce a real gem - Physical Chemistry." - Science Man gives Physical Chemistry an "outstanding" rating.

Educational Media Reviews Online rates Physical Chemistry as "Highly recommended".

Target audience

The material in this program is geared towards students studying Physical Chemstry at the High School and Advanced Placement level.

Users: teachers

Use the power of interactive multimedia to motivate your students and provide them with a clearer understanding of ideas that were once more difficult to explain.

Promote the idea of more frequent individual study among your students and encourage them to explore various concepts and topics at their own pace.

The many 3-D animations facilitate the explanation of complex ideas and provides students with helpful visual representations.

Non-lionear structure of the tutorial allows you the option of easily skipping to desired sections.

Give your students access to multimedia learning tools that can help your online course environments go beyond simply posting comments and communicating with others.

Accompany in-class lectures with a display of both graphics and text by using a conventional overhead projector. This can be easier and more effective than writing notes on a blackboard.

MCH tutorials contain many good ideas for possible exam questions
