CHEMGAMES - Key Persons


Dr. Joseph Chimeno

Professor Chimeno realized the difficulty that students had with chemical nomenclature. Thus, he developed the Rainbow Wheel and later the software version, the Rainbow Matrix. Students have really benefited from the use of both the Rainbow Wheel and the Rainbow Matrix. In addition to the Chemical Nomenclature Games, Professor Chimeno has developed two Virtual Chemistry Labs: Intro Chemistry and Organic Chemistry, consisting of at least 12 different experiments in each. In addition to the Virtual Labs and Rainbow Matrix Game, Dr. Chimeno has written and published both an Introductory Textbook and Lab Manual. Both are available from Linus Books. Here is a video of Dr. Chimeno performing a Chemistry Demonstration involving the Combustion of Methanol; and there is a question for you at the end of the video. See if you can answer it correctly.
