This study compares the effect of a chemistry computer simulation, written by the author, with the effect of an instructor demonstration. The study indicates that in this particular situation the operation of a spectrophotometer can be effectively taught by this method. The programme is written using HyperTalk, the HyperCard™ programming language and also makes use of the QuickTime™ movie format.
