Chemical Calculations was designed to help high school and college students solve problems in an introductory chemistry class. The program is easy to learn and run. If you have used other Windows programs before, Chemical Calculations will not cause you any problems. You can use your mouse or the keyboard. The menu functions operate the same as the mouse functions. 

Students can use Chemical Calculations as a homework helper, a study guide, or as a review for a test. One of the strong points about Chemical Calculations is that it shows the work needed to get the answer to the problem. The answer alone would not help much. With the work shown, students can see how a problem is addressed and use that in solving other similar problems.

Teachers can use Chemical Calculations as an instructional tool in the classroom. With a computer hooked up to an overhead projector, a teacher can demonstrate many types of chemical principles and problems. You can experiment with a particular variable in order to illustrate a particular concept. For example, you can change the temperature and show the effect on a volume of a gas. Then have the students see if they can identify the relationship that exists. The possibilities are limited only by one's imagination.

In the media center, groups of students or an individual can receive extra assistance with a particular problem or concept. Students can use Chemical Calculations to study for a quiz or a test. It can be used in  group competitions in the classroom. 

Chemical Calculations is a tool that can be used by both students and teachers.
