Modeling and Visualization in Chemistry Workshop Scott Sinex Prince George’s Community College Sponsored by EdGrid and MVHS 24-27 June 2003
V P As chemists, we employ models • Physical models – wooden ball & stick or the syringe • Conceptual models – “molecules in the box” • Mathematical models – Boyle’s Law or Beer’s Law PV = k
Objectives… • Learn some useful technology tools • Design a Chime-based web activity • Design a web-based activity using data-driven mathematical modeling and simulations
Data Ideally experimentally collected Science process, discovery-based Mathematical model Algebraically – based Graphical approach Simulation More variables Graphical approach
The chemist’s toolbox… • Graphing calculator/Excel – data handling, analysis, and modeling • Chime – interactivemolecular models in web-based activities • Stella/Interactive Excel – mathematical simulations (algebra-based) • Netlogo/Java applets – particle/reaction simulations
