Supplements

As supplemental learning resources for the OLI course, we have been designing interactive reference pieces to help the students lookup concepts and data they must internalize or use to understand other concepts. We are making these materials available to others to link to.

Examples include:

Functional Groups

Glossary

membranesThe Functional Groups Glossary: These Functional Groups have properties which explain certain behaviors. Knowing these basics will assist students in understanding how larger molecules constructed from these groups might behave. This glossary is intended both as reference as a device the students can use to help them learn to recognize these groups.

Interactive Ice Structure
