This module provides one basic chemistry "skill check" and three content modules covering information from elements and atoms to atomic structure/electron orbitals, bonds and chemical reactions. Content modules include videos, articles, figures, and illustrations, though the majority are videos. Users/students can also ask questions at the end of each module, and a the community of users have the...
This module provides a "skill check" with questions for students on the properties of carbon, but also contains two content modules on the following: Carbon (general properties) Hydrocarbon structures and functional groups (basic chemistry) Content modules include videos, articles, figures, and illustrations, though the majority are videos. Users/students can also ask questions at the end...
This module provides a "skill check" with questions for students on the properties of water, but also contains four content modules on the following: Hydrogen bonding Cohesion/Adhesion Temperature and State Changes in Water Acids, Bases, and pH. Content modules include videos, articles, figures, and illustrations, though the majority are videos. Users/students can also ask questions at the...
This video presents information on the extinction 250 million years ago in the Permian period, where 95% of all living organisms in the sea and on land became extinct. The video examines the reason for this mass extinction and how it could have had such a profound influence on life on Earth. Scientists explain their reasoning with research and reason. This link also provides some additional...
This is a case study adapted from "Teaching Chemistry Through the Jigsaw Strategy" by the Quality Education Fund, Hong Kong (2007). It brings to attention the importance of chirality and the structures of molecules in a biological context. It describes the real events surrounding the drug Thalidomide before it was pulled off of the market. This drug has recently been introduced back to the market...
