By Raymond Chang. The Annotated Instructor’s Edition includes all resources available to the instructor marked by icons located in the margins of the text. Information is provided on the integration of media (animations, interactives, Online Learning Center) and instructions on where the instructor will find the various media. The difficulty level of the end-of-chapter problems and the various chemical disciplines that the problems are related to is marked. Information on quality demonstration videos, tips for the instructor, and the icons marking the digital assets available on the Digital Content Manager are provided.
Instructor’s Testing and Resource CD-ROM
Written by John Adams (University of Missouri), this manual contains over 2000 multiple-choice and short-answer questions. The questions, which are graded in difficulty, are comparable to the problems in the text and include multistep problems that require conceptual analysis. The Test Bank also includes over 200 algorithmic-based questions that instructors can edit to create their own test templates. The Test Bank is formatted for easy integration into the following course management systems: WebCT and Blackboard. The CD also contains the electronic file or the Instructor’s Resource Manual with Solutions.
Online Learning Center
Online Learning Center (new and improved) for General Chemistry offers excellent tools for both the instructor and the student. Instructors can create an interactive course with the integration of this site and a secured Instructor Center stores your essential course materials to save you preparation time before class. This center offers PowerPoint images, a PowerPoint lecture outline, Instructors’ Manual and Instructor’s Solution Manual, Chang animations, chemistry interactives, and more.
Instructor’s Solution Manual
By Brandon Cruickshank (Northern Arizona University)
and Raymond Chang. The solutions to all of the end-of-chapter
problems are given, including those that are in the
Solutions Manual. You can access the manual on the Instructor’s
Testing and Resource CD-ROM or by opening
the Instructor Center in the Online Learning Center.
Overhead Transparencies
Approximately 250 full-color text illustrations are reproduced
on acetate for overhead projection.
Chang Animations
By Brandon Cruickshank (Northern Arizona University).
Eleven new animations have been added to the current 28
animations. The animations are interactive and specifically
support content and concepts in General Chemistry. The
interactive summary and icons in the text show which concepts
are animated. Animations can be used by both the
instructor and the student on the Online Learning Center
and are available on the Chemistry Animations Library
DVD for use in lecture and PowerPoint presentations.
Simulations
There are seven simulations that will be available on the
Online Learning Center, enabling manipulation of variables
for specific chemical concepts including stoichiometry,
gas laws, kinetics, equilibrium, and acid/base.
Chemistry Animations Library DVD
This instructor’s DVD enables you to use animations and
simulations in your classroom in the way that works best
for you. This DVD includes over 300 animations that can
be played directly from the DVD or can be imported easily
into your own lecture presentation. The animation
library is fully searchable, and many animations are included
at full-screen size.
Digital Content Library CD-ROM
This multimedia collection of visual resources enables
instructors to utilize artwork from the text in multiple
formats to create customized classroom presentations, visually
based tests and quizzes, dynamic course website content,
or attractive printed support material. The digital assets
on this cross-platform CD-ROM are grouped by chapter
within easy-to-use folders. Available are all figures, tables,
many photographs, Active Art, TextEdit art, and the PowerPoint
lecture presentation.
Active Art
By Eric Johnson (Ball State University). New for this
edition, Active Art presents key art pieces as a series of
PowerPoint slides that illustrate difficult concepts in
a step-by-step manner. Artwork is broken into small, digestible
frames, enabling the instructor to bring each
piece into a lecture in whatever sequence or format is desired.
The figures can be customized in almost any way
imaginable. Because every Active Art image is completely
ungroupable, any part of an Active Art slide can
be used as a “chemical clipart” in any other PowerPoint
presentation, or as a component in your own rendition of
a figure. Active Art can be found on the Digital Content
Manager under the Active Art folder for each chapter.
TextEdit Art
TextEdit Art enables an instructor to revise or delete labels
on a figure as desired within PowerPoint to create
customized presentations or for use in tests. Labels can be
moved, deleted, or revised; the leader lines can be moved
or deleted separate from the image and labels; and images
can be stretched or enlarged. TextEdit Art can be found
on the Digital Content Manager.
PowerPoint Lecture Presentation
By J. David Robertson (University of Missouri). Instructors
who adopt General Chemistry will find that this presentation
not only saves time but also enables them to
create a visually stunning lecture presentation. The Web-based
PowerPoint lecture includes notes for the entire
course, visuals from the fourth edition, and animations
embedded at the appropriate points in the program. Use
this complete lecture outline, or revise the lecture to fit
your own course. The lecture presentation can be found
on the Digital Content Manager or in the Instructor
Center of the Online Learning Center.
Classroom Performance System and Questions
McGraw-Hill is now proud to offer adopting instructors
the opportunity to use the Classroom Performance System
(CPS). This is a revolutionary tool that brings ultimate interactivity
to the lecture hall or classroom. CPS is a wire-less
response system that gives an instructor immediate
feedback from every student in the class. Each CPS unit
comes with up to 512 individual response pads and an appropriate
number of corresponding receiver units. CPS
units also include easy-to-use software for creating questions
and assessments to deliver to a class. CPS enables instructors
to ask their students subjective and objective
questions. Students use their response pads to answer to
these questions. McGraw-Hill is now also offering preexisting
general chemistry questions for CPS users.
Course Management Systems
The Test Bank questions and end-of-chapter problems are
available in WebCT and Blackboard. Ask your sales representation
how to receive material in the system of your
choice.
Primis LabBase
By Joseph Lagowski (the University of Texas at Austin).
More than 40 general chemistry experiments are available
in this database collection of general lab experiments
from the Journal of Chemical Education and experiments
used by Professor Lagowski at the University of Texas
at Austin, enabling instructors to customize their lab
manuals.
General Chemistry Laboratory Manual
By Petra A. M. van Koppen (University of California,
Santa Barbara). This is the definitive lab manual for the
two-semester general chemistry course. The manual contains
21 experiments that cover the most commonly assigned
experiments for the introductory chemistry course.
Cooperative Chemistry Laboratory Manual
By Melanie Cooper (Clemson University). This innovative
guide features open-ended problems designed to
simulate experience in a research lab. Working in groups,
students investigate one problem over a period of several
weeks, so that they might complete three or four projects
during the semester, rather than one preprogrammed experiment
per class. The emphasis here is on experimental
design, analysis problem solving, and communication.
