How to Get the Most From this Resource

The links on this page take you to learning resources for a conventional textbook. Few, if any, Free-Ed.Net learners have the book at hand, so there might be some concern about how useful this material might be. It is useful — very useful. You simply have to learn how to use it.
 Here are some suggestions.

Key Principles. Look at the Key Principles  first — and last. They might not make much sense when you first begin your work on the lesson. But when you begin your work on these assignments, the Key Principles at least give you an idea about where you will be going with your studies. Then when you have completed the assignments, you will be pleasantly surprised how much you have learned.

E-Learning Sessions. The E-Learning Sessions are groups of multimedia tutorials, mostly in QuickTime or Flash formats. (Make sure you have the appropriate plug-ins installed on your computer). The are the heart of your studies. Watch them at least three times: First, get an overall impression of the content. Then watch them again, taking notes and looking for terms and principles you need to google on the internet. After you've rounded out your understanding with some internet research, watch the presentations as third time .. just to make sure you have covered all the important points.

Atomic Structures. These are animated, 3D Chime structures. They provide clear visual impressions of the atomic structures for molecules described in the lesson. Not all lessons have Atomic Structures. The free Chime plug-in must be installed on your computer. (Downloading and installation Instructions are included with each presentation of Atomic Structures).

Animations. Most of the animations feature lab demonstrations. They are vital to a well-rounded appreciation of chemistry. Not all lessons include animations, and you must have QuickTime and Flash installed on your computer.

Quiz 1 and Quiz 2.  Go through these quizzes, keeping in mind that your objective is to make sure you are mastering the material, and not to simply trying to "make a good grade."
