Abstract
A well-designed combination of various elements of imaging and visualization, high level of interactivity, as well as creating associations between the learners’ emotions and impressions is key to effective Chemistry teaching. The above assumptions are all implemented in the manual Absorbing Chemistry whose integral part are CD-ROMs. The handbook is to be used by teachers of junior high schools whose students are 13–15 years of age (Fig. 1). Each multimedia unit found on the CD contains the following elements: animation and simulations of chemical processes and phenomena; dynamic 3D models of chemical compounds; video presenting, among others, the course of chemistry experiments; tests and problem-solving tasks.
