In this video segment adapted from NOVA, follow novice runners as they train for a marathon, and discover how quickly the body responds to regular aerobic exercise.

This initial module from the GENIQUEST project introduces the dragons and the inheritance of their traits, then delves into meiosis and its relationship to inherited traits. Students examine the effects of choosing different gametes on dragon offspring, and learn about genetic recombination by creating recombination events to generate specific offspring from two given parent dragons. Students learn about inbred strains and breed an inbred strain of dragons themselves.

This course provides an introduction to the physical chemistry of biological systems. Topics include: connection of macroscopic thermodynamic properties to microscopic molecular properties using statistical mechanics, chemical potentials, equilibrium states, binding cooperativity, behavior of macromolecules in solution and at interfaces, and solvation. Example problems include protein structure, genomic analysis, single molecule biomechanics, and biomaterials.

This video segment adapted from NOVA scienceNOW shows how the common wood frog freezes solid every winter, an adaptation that allows the organism to survive the cold winter.

This is Experiment #2 in the Analytical Chemistry Lab sequence at MSU Denver. In this experiment, students will use spectroscopy to determine the concentration of iron in an unknown samples. Analytical techniques are covered including standard addition and how to accurately create standards.

Experiments in this class are broadly aimed at acquainting students with the range of properties of polymers, methods of synthesis, and physical chemistry. Some examples of laboratory work include solution polymerization of acrylamide, bead polymerization of divinylbenzene, and interfacial polymerization of nylon 6,10. Evaluation of networks by tensile and swelling experiments, rheology of polymer solutions and suspensions, and physical properties of natural and silicone rubber are also covered.

A new chapter in Introductory Organic Chemistry course. Lecture PowerPoint file and laboratory document are also included in this work. The goal of this chapter is to cover the basic ground of the food additives from the perspective of organic chemistry.

Lecture PowerPoint slides have all in-class questions/discussions and after-class assignments listed.

Laboratory document – Synthesis of Yellow 5 (Sunset yellow), an azo dye used in food industry. Document includes a short introduction, detailed experimental procedure and post-laboratory questions.

This is a pdf of a presentation. It can be used to expand upon or introduce the topic of Acids and Bases within chemistry. It primarily goes over the basics but could be used at any point.

A complete introduction to scientific investigation and the scope of physical science. Includes: states of matter, atoms, periodic table, chemical bonding, chemical reactions, carbon chemistry, chemistry of solutions, nuclear chemistry, motion, forces, Newton's Laws of Motion, work and machines, energy, waves, sound, electromagnetic radiation, visible light, electricity, and magnetism.

The Kansas State University Human Nutrition (FNDH 400) Flexbook is a textbook for students taking Kansas State University FNDH 400 course.FNDH 400 is a 3-hour, intermediate-level, human nutrition course at Kansas State University take primarily by sophomores and juniors because it has prerequisites of a college biology and chemistry courses.

The University of Lethbridge Teaching Centre in a conversation with Chemistry professor Dr. Ying Zheng and her student assistant Keith Aiken on their OER textbook creation for the Chemistry of the Life Sciences II.

This subject deals primarily with equilibrium properties of macroscopic systems, basic thermodynamics, chemical equilibrium of reactions in gas and solution phase, and rates of chemical reactions.

This Infographics contains information regarding the process involved in treatment of textile effluent and the challenges posed by textile effluent to environment.

Chemical reactions is one of the essential concepts in chemistry. This resource explains this concept by delivering examples taken from real life. The evidence of chemical reaction occurrence is discussed as well as the representation of this reaction by word equation.

Some of the most vivid pigments in medieval manuscripts were manufactured through alchemy, an experimental practice that predates modern chemistry. Today, chemistry deepens our knowledge about paint colors, their identification, and potential continued transformations.

Naming compounds is one of the most fudemental skills in general chemistry. Most likely you will be required to know naming rules for the reaminder of the semester! So how do you make sense of all of these rules? Take a look belwo for a systematic way to naming all basic general chemistry compounds. At the end of the module you should be able to...Idetify what time of bond a molecule conatinsDetermine the name from fromula for basic compoundsDetermine the formula form a name for basic compoundsAppropriately and correctly utilize the stock systemUtilize prefixes in naming basic organic compoundsCorresponding OpenStax Textbook Section 2.6, 2.7Types of BondsCovalent Naming RulesIonic Naming RulesPolyatomic Ion Naming RulesAcid Naming RulesIntroduction to Organic Naming 

Treatment process of textile effluent involves many chemicals to remove the harmful chromophores and other toxic compounds from the waste water generated by textile industry, before discharging it into the environment or for its reuse. The infograph summarizes the chemicals involved in different steps of textile manufacturing and the treatment process flowchart with specific secondary and tertiary treatment steps to remove these chemicals. It also mentions some of the best available techniques for textile effluent treatment and a case study on how it has been implemented in certain parts of the world.
