Check Ability to Render flv Videos:

This course uses the Adode flv (fast Internet streaming) video format. Use the videos below to check your ability to render the videos used in lecture and lab.

FunOfChemistry  High school students play with chemistry projects (4:53)

DoMasksWork   Experimental demonstration on effectiveness of masks in reducing respiratory particle distribution (5:08)

SantaClausStatistics Statistician examines Santa Claus' distribution of presents (3:47)

StoryOfStuff    Comment on Recycling / Sustainability/ Environmental Toxics (21:16)

If you cannot render these videos, try the free open source vlan media player at  https://www.videolan.org/vlc/   This extremely well respected and popular media player is available for download and installation on most known devices and platforms.

I use .flv because files are typically smaller than mp4 (faster downloads) and is a format that every student can render via the vlan player.

Math Review

This is the index for a set of brief overviews of math concepts used in chemistry 101.

This is material typically associated with grade / middle school arithmetic.

This material will not be discussed in class.

Lecture Materials

This is a collection of materials organized by Unit. Each unit contains student outcomes (expected to know), lecture notes (synched to lecture slides), and optional practice quizzes (and answers). Units 6-10 have practice insert exams. Some units have additional optional material such as music videos and essays on related topics.

Lecture Slides

This is a collection of my lecture slides listed in order of presentation. They are presented in three different (one, two, or three slides per page) full color and one black-and-white (three slides per page) formats; the individual slides are identical, but different formats allow multiple printing options.

Annotated Outcomes

These are the chemistry department unit outcomes which have been annotated with lecture material to serve as a study aid.

Flash Cards

These are two sets of flash cards to assist in learning stuff that needs to be memorized. One set is a printing template and the other is an electronic version that alternates front and back sides of a flashcard.

Chemistry Reading List 

A collection of book references (For those seeking info outside the course material) Topics include: Chemical Magic, Chemistry Stuff, Chemistry in Every Day Living, Toxic Chemistry in the Environment, General Science and Invention, History of Chemistry, Home Experimentation, Kitchen Chemistry, Little Kid Stuff, Media Physics, and Media Science.

Introductory Chemistry

This an open source introductory chemistry text in pdf format.

It is not required for class; it is provided as an additional study resource.
