Popis:	We have developed a Computer Assisted Learning program to aid in the teaching of molecular reaction dynamics to undergraduate students. Dynamic and steric factors affecting reaction outcomes are investigated by observing individual molecular collisions. Students control the reactions by experimenting with the initial trajectories of the molecules. Interactive questions emphasizing the role of the potential energy surface guide the students through this "experiment" and on to a detailed analysis of the results. This enables students to relate the new material they have learned to more familiar topics in chemical kinetics.
