The following OER resources have been created by Mike Cross for Chemistry I:Stoichiometry classroom presentationThese presentation slides are meant to be used by an instructor to introduce the concept of stoichiometry in the classroom. The problems involved can be solved by the instructor on the board or solved by students individually or in groups. The presentation should take approximately 2 ½ hours of class time.Stoichiometry problems (5)These videos show solved the process of solving stoichiometry problems. The first problem is the simplest and the problems increase in difficulty. The video links can be given to students in order to help them learn how to complete these types of calculations.

This text gives an overview of development, beginning in the mother’s womb through about the age of eight. It starts with a look at perspectives of early childhood, including how children have been viewed historically as well as cross-culturally. Following this chapter, there is a complete overview of the important theorists that have helped to deepen and bring clarity to how children develop. These theories include psychodynamic, behavioral, social cognitive theory, cognitive theory, humanistic, multiple intelligence, growth mindset, and Bloom’s taxonomy. Understanding the implications of each theory is important foundational knowledge for the study of development. Chapters Three and Four give an overview of the domains of development, followed by an overview of the developing brain. Chapter Five takes a look at the prenatal period, including the birth and postpartum process. Chapter Six describes development in infancy, and Chapter Seven describes the toddler years, including safety considerations that are critical for this period. Chapter Eight looks at the preschool years, including the role of peers, play, and television (and other electronics) in development. Chapter Nine concludes the text with a brief look at the start of what is known as the school-age years, universally recognized as between the ages of five and eight.
