Content Videos (Lectures and animations to supplement lessons):
- The Mole as a Basic Unit
- Mole Conversions
- Determination of Formulas
- Molar Solutions
- Molar Gas Volume
Interactives (Online activities for student interaction & practice with content):
- Compounds, Molecules & the Mole
- Conversion Between Mass & Moles (Atomic weights are used to convert the mass of a sample into the number of moles of the element in the sample and vice versa. Four examples are provided for practice)
- Molarity Simulation (students inquire: What determines the concentration of a solution? Learn about the relationships between moles, liters, and molarity by adjusting the amount of solute and solution volume. Change solutes to compare different chemical compounds in water)
- Concentration Simulation (students watch their solution change color as they mix chemicals with water. Then check molarity with the concentration meter. What are all the ways you can change the concentration of your solution? Switch solutes to compare different chemicals and find out how concentrated you can go before you hit saturation!)
- Dilution of Hydrochloric Acid (In this interactive object, learners examine how to properly dilute hydrochloric acid)
- Avogadro’s Law (students measure the density, molar concentration, and molar volume of various gases)
- Determine Molarity of an Acid or Base Solution (using a virtual titration)
- Determine Moles and Atoms in Metals Simulation
- Practice Stoichiometry Simulation
- Stoichiometry: Determination of a Hydrate Formula Simulation
- Stoichiometry: Percent Composition of a Hydrate Simulation
- Stoichiometry: Combustion Reaction with Excess O2 Simulation
Games (Online games for students to apply & test their content knowledge):
- Whack-a-Mole! (Chemistry-themed whack-a-mole! How much mass can you accumulate in 30 seconds? Gotta whack ‘em all!)
- Gridlock Level 2 (14-16s): Moles Equations
- Gridlock Level 3 (16-19s): Moles Equations
- Molar Solutions
- Stoichiometry of Reactions
- Stoichiometry Vocabulary Word Search
- Mixed Reception Murder Mystery (this game is set in a research group that is developing an antivenom for spider bites. In the opening scene, Nelson Pogline, a talented graduate student, dies unexpectedly at a university reception. As a detective, you must use chemistry concepts to determine if this was murder and if so, solve the case. You can interview suspects using Quicktime movies, investigate the crime scene for clues with Quicktime Virtual Reality images, and analyze the evidence from the crime lab. Game requires basic knowledge of formula weight, chemical reactions and the scientific method; additional concepts that are discussed include molecular recognition, limiting reagents, and mass spectrometry)
