This course has many features designed to help you learn chemistry. It is organized into units, each of which ends with an exam. Within each unit there is a weekly schedule. Within each week there are whole-class meetings where lecture and group work will be done, a discussion section for group work, and a laboratory session. Before each whole-class meeting there is a pre-class activity that will make sure you have the background needed for the class session. There are post-exam activities that will ask you to reflect on your study habits and what you have learned. There will be activities during each class period, and there is homework each week. Laboratory work enables you to learn techniques and apply what you have learned in class. All course information is available in a course management system called Canvas. An online system called Piazza (link provided in Canvas) allows you to post questions anytime and get responses quickly. Your course instructors will have office hours during which difficult materials can be discussed and explained: make use of them!

Short Description:
The textbook provides an important opportunity for students to learn the core concepts of chemistry and understand how those concepts apply to their lives and the world around them.

Chemistry 143 is an introductory course designed to provide an overview of basic chemical concepts, specifically designed for those pursuing a career in the health sciences. In providing the framework of basic chemistry, the student will obtain the background necessary for continuing course work in subjects such as organic chemistry, biochemistry, microbiology, molecular biology, pharmacology and physiology. The student will also be better prepared to deal with chemical questions outside the laboratory setting.

This textbook is a reference text for General Chemistry, including the major concepts and ideas of chemical science, and a look at some of the major currents of modern Chemistry

Course Description: This introductory course is designed to prepare the student for Chemistry 1A. Students will develop problem-solving skills related to the nature of matter, chemical reactions, stoichiometry, energy transformations, as well as atomic and molecular structure. This 4-unit course is transferable to CSU and UCSC systems.

This introductory course is designed to prepare the student for Chemistry 2. Students will develop problem-solving skills related to the nature of matter, chemical reactions, stoichiometry, energy transformations, as well as atomic and molecular structure.  This 4-unit course is transferable to CSU and UCSC systems.

These materials created by Dr. Kiel Nikolakakis in Spring 2023, feature a syllabus, PDFs from Organic Chemistry with a Biological Emphasis by Dr. Timothy Soderberg, additional supplementary resources, a video playlist, video examples, and practice quizzes and keys.

The topics covered in this course include: General Chemistry; Acids and bases in organic chemistry; Organic functional groups; Alkanes; Alkyl Halides; Cyclic compounds; Isomers and chirality; Organic reactions; Nucleophiles and electrophiles; Nucleophilic substitution; Alcohols, thiols, and amines; Alkenes and alkynes; Resonance and conjugation; Carbonyl compounds; Aldehydes and ketones; Carboxylic acids, esters, and amides; Benzene and aromatic compounds; Radicals; Carbohydrates; Amino acids and peptides; Lipids; Nucleic Acids

Chemistry: Atoms First is a peer-reviewed, openly licensed introductory textbook produced through a collaborative publishing partnership between OpenStax and the University of Connecticut and UConn Undergraduate Student Government Association.

This title is an adaptation of the OpenStax Chemistry text and covers scope and sequence requirements of the two-semester general chemistry course. Reordered to fit an atoms first approach, this title introduces atomic and molecular structure much earlier than the traditional approach, delaying the introduction of more abstract material so students have time to acclimate to the study of chemistry. Chemistry: Atoms First also provides a basis for understanding the application of quantitative principles to the chemistry that underlies the entire course.

Chemistry Behind the Magic features videos of exciting live chemistry demonstrations. The videos are enhanced by explanations of the science behind the demonstration, in a fun and easy-to-understand format.
This set of videos showcases exciting live chemistry demonstrations held at MIT. Through the magic of chemistry, Dr. John Dolhun and Dr. Bassam Shakhashiri create things that steam, fizzle, and glow. Each video also provides a deeper look into the chemistry that makes it all possible.
For teachers, we have provided supporting materials to help you understand and replicate the experiments in your own classrooms. These videos can be watched in any order.
WARNING NOTICE
The experiments described in these materials are potentially hazardous. Among other things, the experiments should include the following safety measures: a high level of safety training, special facilities and equipment, the use of proper personal protective equipment, and supervision by appropriate individuals.

The Chemistry Capstone Essay is a way to introduce or assess students' knowledge and understanding of a variety of science texts and their understanding of chemical theories and applications taught during the year. Students demonstrate knowledge by having to be concise and distill down complex ideas and connections from a variety of different texts.

This activity is a classroom lab where students observe and classify chemical and physical changes using the five characteristics of a chemical change, interpret their findings, and use evidence to support their findings.

Chemistry Education Research and Practice (CERP) is the journal for teachers, researchers and other practitioners at all levels of chemistry education. It is published free of charge, electronically, four times a year; coverage includes the following:

-Research, and reviews of research, in chemistry education
-Evaluations of effective innovative practice in the teaching of chemistry
-In-depth analyses of issues of direct relevance to chemistry education

The objectives of the journal follow:

-To provide researchers with the means to publish their work in full in a journal exclusively dedicated to chemistry education
-To offer teachers of chemistry at all levels a place where they can share effective ideas and methods for the teaching and learning of chemistry
-Most importantly, to bridge the gap between the two groups so that researchers will have their results seen by those who could benefit from using them, and practitioners will gain from encountering the ideas and results of those who have made a particular study of the learning process

Short Description:
This open educational resource was adapted by Dr. Julie Donnelly, Dr. Nicole Lapeyrouse, and Dr. Matthew Rex at the University of Central Florida from Lumen's "Chemistry for Majors"—which is primarily based on OpenStax Chemistry—and LibreTexts General Chemistry Textmap (Tro).
