This a physical science text intended for non-science majors that covers introductory chemistry and physics topics. The work is adapted from Chemistry: Atoms First 2e https://openstax.org/details/books/chemistry-atoms-first-2e and College Physics https://openstax.org/details/books/college-physics

Play with a bar magnet and coils to learn about Faraday's law. Move a bar magnet near one or two coils to make a light bulb glow. View the magnetic field lines. A meter shows the direction and magnitude of the current. View the magnetic field lines or use a meter to show the direction and magnitude of the current. You can also play with electromagnets, generators and transformers!

Light a light bulb by waving a magnet. This demonstration of Faraday's Law shows you how to reduce your power bill at the expense of your grocery bill.

Explore the forces at work in a tug of war or pushing a refrigerator, crate, or person. Create an applied force and see how it makes objects move. Change friction and see how it affects the motion of objects.

Learn how to make waves of all different shapes by adding up sines or cosines. Make waves in space and time and measure their wavelengths and periods. See how changing the amplitudes of different harmonics changes the waves. Compare different mathematical expressions for your waves.

Pump gas molecules to a box and see what happens as you change the volume, add or remove heat, change gravity, and more. Measure the temperature and pressure, and discover how the properties of the gas vary in relation to each other.

Express yourself through your genes! See if you can generate and collect three types of protein, then move on to explore the factors that affect protein synthesis in a cell.

An integrated course stressing the principles of biology. Life processes are examined primarily at the molecular and cellular levels. Intended for students majoring in biology or for non-majors who wish to take advanced biology courses.

This is a General Chemistry 1 course taught at Sowela Technical Community College. This course utilizes Openstax Chemistry resources with added videos, powerpoint slides, and assessments.

This material is based on key universal learning objectives for General Chemistry II (CHEM 1412) course. They are adaptable for various textbooks and include images sourced from Wikimedia Commons, Openstax.org, or those created by myself. DRAFTS.   

This course provides an opportunity for students to learn the core concepts of chemistry and understand how those concepts apply to their lives and the world around them, meeting the scope and sequence of most general chemistry courses.

The overall goal of the authors with General Chemistry: Principles, Patterns, and Applications was to produce a text that introduces the students to the relevance and excitement of chemistry.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 studentsŐ lives, which requires bringing in applications early and often. In addition, the authors feel that many first year chemistry students have an enthusiasm for biologically and medically relevant topics, so they use an integrated approach in their text that includes explicit discussions of biological and environmental applications of chemistry.

These modules include short lecture videos, animations, and relevant OpenStax Chemistry readings for a general chemistry for science majors course.

This Module teaches how to convert mass % to empirical formula, how to identify empirical and molecular formulas, and how to calculate molar mass of a compound.

This module is a brief introduction to the definitions of mixture, compound, and element and includes a Ted Ed video on What's in a Mixture: the science of macaroni salad.

This module is a brief introduction to making a distinction between kinetic and potential energy.  The laws of potential energy inform many of our definitions later in chemistry and are especially useful when related specifically to charges.

This module has two parts:1- Introduction to the concept of a "mole" and Avogadro's number.2- Application of the Mole (Avogadro's number) as a conversion factor relating mass in grams to number of atoms or molecules (formula unit for ionic compounds)
