Applications/Odds and Ends Overview

Context

After understanding the basic building blocks of matter and studying how they can undergo chemical changes, we are ready to look at some applications, to tidy up some loose ends, and to review what we have learned.

Relevancy

The application that is probably most relevant to many of us is biochemistry. This is the study of how living organisms exist and stay alive. We will only touch on some of the terminology, but underlying all of biochemistry is some very sophisticated chemistry that is extremely interesting to study!

This part of the course will also give us an opportunity to review and solidify some of the previous work.

The Plan and Specific Tasks

Read the first content page, taking down notes of things that you would like to ask questions about.
Take the pre-quiz for this page. Some of the quiz questions might clarify the questions from the reading, but they may also bring up new questions.
Write down all of your questions, join a chat group or email Dr. Burgess with your questions.
Do 1-3 for the second content page.
Continue until all of the content pages have been completed.
Complete the graded quizzes for each page and the section quiz over the whole section.

Learning Objectives

Each webpage has specific learning objectives in the "Explanation" section of the page.
