      • Virtual ChemLab

        Note: Virtual ChemLab is online application . Go to the Install BeyondLabz page in the Welcome Module. There you will gain access to the virtual chemlab tool. Once you have logged in to the Virtual ChemLab Tool, you will find lab workbooks scattered throughout your course. These lab workbooks will have links out to the chemlab tool where you can perform the experaments.

      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.
