Inorganic Chemistry Acid-Base Chemistry	Content Structure Link to Other Topics	Link to Organic Chemistry	Link this topic to organic reactions since a lot of them are actually acid/base reactions. That is, there is one species that’s electron rich and one that’s electron poor.
General Chemistry Inorganic Chemistry Organic Chemistry Physical Chemistry Analytical Chemistry	Technology Online and e-Resources	Multiple Resources	If you look at the resources - students’ have textbooks, they have electronic media, they have Sapling. They can do the problems in their own time in a guided way with something like Sapling. All we as lecturers have to do is give them the framework to solve the problems. ... more

General Chemistry Inorganic Chemistry Organic Chemistry Physical Chemistry Analytical Chemistry	Content Structure Real World Applications	Weave in Examples	As usual, try to weave in some real-world examples.
Inorganic Chemistry Acid-Base Chemistry	Mode of Delivery Reinforcement and Repetition	Reinforce and Connect With Buffers	Reinforce pK_a and connect this with buffers by asking students to pick acid/conjugate base combinations to make up buffers with different pH.
