Understanding Chemistry in Our World is an introductory chemistry course of 14 lessons designed for adult students who are non-science majors. The centerpiece for each lesson is a video from the award-winning video series, Understanding Chemistry in Our World. Each video explores a topic using a relevant case study to build understanding for the chemical foundations of everything students see and experience around us.

Each lesson includes a number of interactive games and practice activities that engage students and reinforce learning and the lesson ends with a quiz. Students explore individual topics through visits to various locations including:

Lawrence Livermore Laboratories to see how covalent bonding is used to create designer molecules that treat disease.
Hinckley, California to see discover how an ion, hexavalent chromium, contaminated groundwater supplies (and made Erin Brockovich famous).
Yellowstone National Park to examine various types of chemical reactions.
A sewage treatment plant to explore the difference between mixtures and solutions and their behaviors as wastewater is transformed into pure water.
A doctor’s office to discover the role that acid/base chemistry plays in the development and treatment of gastrointestinal reflux disorder.
