Educational software for environmental chemistry

CHED 1453

Frank M. Dunnivant, dunnivfm@whitman.edu, Department of Chemistry, Whitman College, 345 Boyer Ave., Hall of Science, Walla Walla, WA 99362
Seven software packages that are relevant to teaching environmental chemistry, science, and engineering will be presented. EnviroLand, the Fate Simulator, and the pC-pH simulator are mathematical software packages that allow the prediction of pollutant fate and transport in air, lake, river, and groundwater environments. Two additional videos, Water and Global Issues will be discussed that are specific to general environmental education. Another two videos, the GC tutorial and the HPLC tutorial, can be used to illustrate the operation and use of analytical instruments for environmental applications. Aspects of using these software packages in the classroom, including student feedback, will be discussed. The software packages are available as free downloads at http://people.whitman.edu/~dunnivfm/software.html
