Abstract
This article describes a low-cost activity designed to help students at the secondary level visualize both the kinetic and the stoichiometric nature of chemical reactions at the particle level. Directions are given for constructing animations using the visual medium commonly known as a flip book.

Teaching Chemistry with Visualizations: What's the Research Evidence?
Vickie M. Williamson2011 (), 65-81Teaching Chemistry with Visualizations: What's the Research Evidence?
Vickie M. Williamson2011 (), 65-81The use of visualization techniques to teach chemistry has been touted in the literature, with the idea that these techniques promote the formation of mental images in students, which depict particle behavior during chemical processes and help better ...
