General Chemistry I Resources

Hi all! I haven’t been as active as i’d like the last few weeks! I’m glad to say that I’ve officially finished my 4-week rotation at Walgreens (and got an A!!).

I’m in the process of rummaging through old material and thought i’d start uploading some of my notes/Powerpoints/study guides, and the like. 

Below are General Chemistry I Powerpoints I made as a Teaching Assistant. Note the material starts at Mole Conversions (because I was too lazy to make a powerpoint for the first review session). 

Breakdown of layout:

Exposure to topic (sometimes)

Sample problem and step-by-step guide on how to solve it

Problems to try on your own

Explanation of problem

I will happily answer any questions you may have regarding this material and will see if I can find the Powerpoints for General Chemistry II as well!

Here are some stills on what the Powerpoints look like:

Powerpoint 1   |    Powerpoint 2   |    Powerpoint 3

vaguely academic things to do to keep yourself entertained

go down a wikipedia research hole by clicking the first term you don’t understand

binge a crashcourse series end to end (personal recs: world history, history of science, big history, philosophy)

find free books on project gutenberg

download some western classics for free

borrow books and audiobooks from the libby app or borrowbox

start a commonplace book

take a khan academy course

browse MIT’s free online course materials

hopefully you’ll find something to enjoy! happy learning x

a list of simple yet beautiful things to live for:

the feeling of sunlight on your skin

the smell of pastries as you pass by a bakery

being wrapped up in a blanket with a cup of hot chocolate in your hands on a cold night

holding hands with the person you can’t imagine living without

discovering a new favorite song and listening to it on repeat

having a relaxing bath after a long exhausting day

secretly admiring a beautiful stranger you saw on the train

Actually my girlfriend is wizard president so I can do whatever I want forever

FRIENDLY REMINDER THAT you are allowed to feel proud of yourself for things that might seem silly to other people, like getting better at a video game or putting together a nice outfit for the next morning or finishing a book. You deserve to feel proud for your accomplishment.

Personal growth becomes so addictive once you realize that it’s always possible to improve your experience of being.
