Making Chemistry Fun to Learn.

The major challenge that confronts undergraduate chemical education in US is the gap between the high demands that learning requires and the low efforts that students make partially due to the lack of motivation. This paper reports strategies to ameliorate student learning in the following areas: application of friendly presentation, utilization of analogies and correlation with everyday life. The novelty lies in the attempt to incorporate new meanings into the existing platforms on publisher provided teaching resources by utilizing commercially available software tools. The paper aims to point out ways to effective knowledge delivery that can be implemented by other chemistry instructors. The goal is to make chemistry vivid and easy to understand in order to stimulate students' intellectual curiosity, which in turn leads to learning enhancement regardless of their career choices.
