Online Chemistry Study Notes
This page contains the study notes for the Level 2 and 3 Chemistry course for 2010 and 2011 (see the Introduction for details). These notes are used by both Aparima College students and members of SILC (Southland Interactive Learning Community).
These resources are free for any teachers to use and modify as long as the Author(s) remain acknowledged on the title page of each slide show and that it is not sold in any form. WARNING - these Powerpoints are still in a draft form and are constantly being updated, revised and corrected. Some content is obsolete and remains because I hate throwing stuff away.
The "print" link leads to a nice small Adobe Acrobat version of the powerpoint's handouts - for those who are band-width challenged. Be warned - they may look messy because they don't show the animations that is present in the powerpoint version.
