OER by Discipline: Chemistry

This textbook is intended for the one-semester GOB course.

Chemistry: Atoms First 2e 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 text is intended to provide an in-depth introduction to the key ideas in chemistry. We have designed the book to show how these ideas are developed from simple to complex systems and how they relate to each other.

Consumer Chemistry – How Organic Chemistry Impacts our Lives

Although much of first-year chemistry is taught as a service course, Bruce and Patricia feel there is no reason that the intrinsic excitement and potential of chemistry cannot be the focal point of the text and the course. So, they emphasize the positive aspects of chemistry and its relationship to students' lives, which requires bringing in applications early and often.

Introduction to Chemistry is designed for a one-term introductory chemistry course. For many students, this course provides their first and what may be their only academic introduction to chemistry.

Chemistry is everywhere.

Introductory Chemistry is designed to cover the wide range of topics typically covered in a one-semester chemistry course for non-science majors. This re-mixed textbook is an adaptation of chapters predominantly from three open source chemistry texts- Boundless Chemistry by LumenLearning, Chemistry: Atoms First (2e) by OpenStax, and General Chemistry: Principles, Patterns, and Applications by Salyor Academy.

This book is from OpenOregon.

From consumer products to space-age technologies, chemistry affects our daily lives. In this course, students will learn the structure of matter and how it behaves under various conditions in order to better understand the chemical world. Designed for students with little or no chemistry background. Laboratory activities extend lecture concepts and introduce students to the experimental process.

There are 3 courses in this sequence which equal a 3-quarter (or one year) course.

The Division of Chemical Education, Inc. of the American Chemical Society holds the copyright for all content on the Chem Ed X website. Instructors are allowed to use the activities for their classrooms. The activities can be used to supplement a text with specific concepts. Several activities adapted for remote classrooms are available.

The PhET Interactive Simulations project at the University of Colorado Boulder creates free interactive math and science simulations. PhET sims are based on extensive education research and engage students through an intuitive, game-like environment where students learn through exploration and discovery.

OpenOChem is a homework/quizzing system that plugs in to your existing LMS. Unlike other "do all" homework systems, OpenOChem was designed from the ground up for creating, sharing, and administering Chemistry assessments.

The Virtual Lab is an online simulation of a chemistry lab. It is designed to help students link chemical computations with authentic laboratory chemistry. The lab allows students to select from hundreds of standard reagents (aqueous) and manipulate them in a manner resembling a real lab.
