CLUE: Chemistry, Life, the Universe, and Everything
Melanie M. Cooper and Michael W. Klymkowsky · Michigan State University and UC Bolder
We developed much of the material in this new curriculum using research on how people learn and our own work on how to improve understanding and problem solving in college-level science classes. In previous studies we have found that our methods, which include dramatic reorganization and reduction of materials covered, increase student interactions and activity and lead to equal or better performance on standardized exams, greater conceptual understanding, and improved problem-solving skills.

Online Open Genetics
Todd Nickle and Isabelle Barrette-Ng · Mount Royal University & University of Calgary
Genetics is the scientific study of heredity and the variation of inherited characteristics. It includes the study of genes, themselves, how they function, interact, and produce the visible and measurable characteristics we see in individuals and populations of species as they change from one generation to the next, over time, and in different environments.

BIOL 212: Botany Lab
Brad Basehore and Rae Dennis · Harrisburg Area Community College
Introduces students to the basic concepts of plant biology and a survey of major groups of plants and plant-like organisms. This course expands on many of the biological concepts introduced in BIOL 101 - General Biology I, as it includes plant physiology, comparative anatomy and plant classification. Plant reproduction and other major botanical concepts are emphasized through the study of local flora, laboratory exercises and lectures.

Chemistry of the Main Group Elements
Andrew R. Barron · Rice University
The main group (s- and p-block) elements are among the most diverse in the Periodic Table. The study of the main group elements is important for a number of reasons. On an academic level they exemplify the trends and predictions in structure and reactivity that are the key to the Periodic Table. They represent the diversity of inorganic chemistry, and the fundamental aspects of structure and bonding that are also present for the transition metal, lanthanide and actinide elements.

Introduction to Ocean Sciences 6e
Douglas A. Segar · American Meteorological Society
Introduction to Ocean Sciences explores the role of the ocean in the Earth system, with special emphasis on the flow of water and energy, the physical and chemical properties of ocean water, ocean circulation, marine life and habitats, interactions between the ocean and the other components of the Earth system, and the human impacts on and responses to those interactions. This book provides the physical, chemical, geological, and biological foundations for understanding Earth's ocean.
