Chemistry PowerPoints

This page contains links to PowerPoint presentations that may be used by any teacher or student who can benefit from this resource. I have found that it is much easier to incorporate small, topical presentations into a course. Also, I believe that these become more useful to other teachers when I allow you to organize topics as you choose.

I have shifted completely to HTML 5 format, which means that these can now be viewed on mobile devices with HTML 5 enabled browsers, such as iPhones, iPads, and Android devices. iPad users opening the HTML 5 format will be prompted to download iSpring's free viewer for these presentations. Using the free iPad app, you can save the HTML 5 presentations for offline viewing on the iPad. Android users now have an iSpring viewer as well - get if from Google Play.

The HTML5 presentations also have some nice new features. At the top left of the presentation, you will see a tab called "Marker Tools" which contains built-in writing tools such as a marker, highlighter, and eraser.

For people who want the original PowerPoint file, you can download the PowerPoint Slide Show (.ppsx). Open the file from within PowerPoint, and you will have a fully editable version of the presentation. Modify it, save it, use it however you wish.
