Chemists study matter’s composition and reactions, driving innovations in industry, engineering, and medicine.

» Program Overview

Chemists explore the composition and properties of matter, investigating the ways in which elements and compounds combine and react, and creating new molecules to address a diverse array of industrial, engineering, and medical needs.

Their expertise in the essential scientific study of substances makes possible a wide array of career options, from product manufacturing and quality control, to toxicological research and next-generation medical development. It is also a preferred major for students seeking admission to medical school.

Use Your Cell Phone as a Document Camera in Zoom

  • What you will need to have and do
  • Download the mobile Zoom app (either App Store or Google Play)
  • Have your phone plugged in
  • Set up video stand phone holder

From Computer

Log in and start your Zoom session with participants

From Phone

  • Start the Zoom session on your phone app (suggest setting your phone to “Do not disturb” since your phone screen will be seen in Zoom)
  • Type in the Meeting ID and Join
  • Do not use phone audio option to avoid feedback
  • Select “share content” and “screen” to share your cell phone’s screen in your Zoom session

To use your cell phone as a makeshift document camera

  • Open (swipe to switch apps) and select the camera app on your phone
  • Start in photo mode and aim the camera at whatever materials you would like to share
  • This is where you will have to position what you want to share to get the best view – but you will see ‘how you are doing’ in the main Zoom session.
