OER course formerly from Lumen Learning - works with CHY 101, CHY 121, & CHY 123

OER course "This module covers introductory topics that are fundamental to understanding the subject of chemistry. In this module, we shall examine the structure of the smallest part of an element known as the atom (the building blocks of matter) and associated atomic models. The focus will be on the thought process involved in the development of the periodic table and its use in explaining the structure and properties of elements in “groups” and “periods”. ..." - works with CHY 101

OER course "This module outlines some of the basic concepts in general chemistry. Typically it deals with chemical reactions and the energy changes that accompany such reactions. The module will therefore focus on the rates of chemical reactions,(ie how fast a reaction takes place) and the factors that affect reaction rates. Also the types and properties of solutions will be presented, concentrating mainly on intermolecular forces in solubility and their concentration units. Finally the module provides an overview of the classes of organic compounds, their nomenclature and functional groups." - works with CHY 101

All sorts of open courses (and resources) on chemistry from MIT.

OER course "This module is the branch of chemistry that deals with carbon compounds and it is called organic chemistry. This module is about classes of organic compounds that can be distinguished according to functional groups they contain. In this module you will be learning the characteristic properties of a number of functional groups. Thus by studying the characteristic properties of a few of these functional groups,you will be able to understand the properties of many organic compounds. In this module we will have functional groups of hydrocarbons,alcohols and ethers,aldehydes and ketones, alkyl halides,carbocyclic acids and their derivatives, and amines." - works with CHY 221

OER course "The module deals wth the concept of aromaticity and aromatic compounds. It discusses the characteristic properties of aromatic compounds that are based on the benzene ring as the structural unit. The major part of this module therefore discusses the chemistry of benzene and its derivatives...." - works with CHY 251

Over 300 chemistry simulators and other open educational resources at Merlot.

"PhET provides fun, free, interactive, research-based science and mathematics simulations. We extensively test and evaluate each simulation to ensure educational effectiveness. These tests include student interviews and observation of simulation use in classrooms. The simulations are written in Java, Flash or HTML5, and can be run online or downloaded to your computer. All simulations are open source"
