    • Virtual ChemLab

      Virtual Chemlab is an online virtual chemistry lab. In the welcome module you will find a page called "Install BeyondLabz" where you will be taken to the virtual lab and prompted to create an account. Throughout this course you will find several of these labs with links to workbooks that will help you complete these labs. You will use this login you created to access those labs.

    If you have access to a good high school chemistry book, you will benefit from reading another view of the concepts learned in this course. A text will have diagrams, pictures, and ancillary materials that will help with a more complete understanding of the chemical principles taught in this course. A text will provide historical information about chemistry, applications of chemical principles to everyday life and chemical career information. You can pass this course and have a strong background in chemistry without a text, but reading a text will enrich your learning experience.

    Here is a list of excellent high school chemistry texts. Again, you are NOT required to have a text, but if you would like one then you should choose from this list.

    • Glenco Science, Chemistry: Matter and Change, McGraw-Hill, 2008. ISBN: 978-0-07-874637-6

    • Prentice Hall Chemistry, 2008. ISBN: 978-0-132-51210-7

    • Holt Chemistry, Holt, Rinehart and Winston, 2006. ISBN: 0-03-039108-3

    • Modern Chemistry, Holt, Rinhart and Winston, 2009. ISBN: 978-0-03-036786-1

    • World of Chemistry, Brooks/Cole, 2007. ISBN: 978-0-618-56276-3

    You may also want to print the Inorganic Chemical Nomenclature Chart (Chart of Polyatomic Ions) and Solubility Rules to use throughout this course. These materials are located in the Course Resources folder. These documents, along with your Periodic Table of Elements, may be brought (without personal notation) to the final exam. Non-printed electronic copies of these documents will be available during the final, but if you want a hard copy you will need to bring your own.
