SCIENCE KIT OFFERS QUANTUM ARTIFICIAL
INTELLIGENCE CHEMISTRY AND MATHEMATICS TUTORS OVER THE INTERNET
Free 15-Day Trial of Quantum Tutors
for Teachers and Students
Tonawanda, New York — August 26,
2004 — Science Kit & Boreal Laboratories, a leading provider
of science educational materials in the U.S. and Canada, announced
today that Quantum’s Artificial Intelligence-based Chemistry and Mathematics
Tutors are now available for purchase online at the Science Kit Web
site at www.sciencekit.com/elearning.
Internet subscriptions are priced per user for unlimited access during
the school year. Bundled discount pricing is also available to individuals
and schools when multiple Tutor modules are purchased.
We are very excited that Quantum will
be featured in our online catalog in time for the new school year,”
comments Jill Bebee, Catalog Marketing Manager at Science Kit. “For
over 47 years, Science Kit has been committed to providing new and
innovative products to enhance science education. We anticipate that
the Quantum Tutors will be well received by school districts, students
and home-schoolers across the country.”
Ideal for student learning and teacher
training, the Quantum Tutors are teacher developed and classroom tested,
and proven to improve test scores by as much as 50%. Any
problem can be entered into the Tutors, making it compatible with
ALL state school standards and curriculum. Students can access the
Tutors wherever there is an Internet connection; in the classroom,
at the library and, most importantly, at home when a teacher is not
readily available. Quantum Tutors are available in modules, just like
chapters in a book, and include:
Quantum Chemistry (High School
and College)
Measurement
The Elements
Ionic Compound Formulas
Mathematics of Chemical Formulas
Equation Balancing
Oxidation Numbers
Chemical Bonding
Chemical Reactions

"Our partnership with Quantum gives
us an immediate and distinct advantage over ‘traditional’ computer-based
learning products,” states Chris Adams, National Sales Manager at
Science Kit. “When teachers and students see the Quantum Tutors in
action, they are amazed at how easy the software is to use and how
effective it is in teaching complex chemistry and mathematics concepts.
That’s why we decided to offer a free 15-day trial of the Quantum
Tutors. Once users try it, they’re sold."
