The Top 200 Drugs memorization games on Study Putty will hopefully be updated with current data before the start of the fall semester for the Pharmacy students out there.
Currently, Study Putty uses Top 200 Drugs data from 2013. This data is presented in memorization games matching trade and generic names, or either name to type of drug.
To see the Top 200 Drugs learning games on Study Putty, click the screen shot below. Continue reading
Want to see something metal? What could be more brutally metal than “lead trees”? Yes, trees of actual lead. A forest of them. And they are chillingly majestic. Granted, they’re tiny and in a solution, but I’m going to overlook that fact.
Study Chemistry with Study Putty
How does one remember SPDFGHIK…? Remembering the S through K orbitals is the trick. After K, it goes alphabetical. (But skipping S and P, because they’ve already been done.) My search for atomic orbital mnemonic devices only turned up one that had sufficient character to stick those eight seemingly arbitrary letters in my mind.
The one I found was pretty good, though:

Here are some simple rules for naming polyatomic ions.
Polyatomic ions with more oxygen atoms will end in -ate, and those with fewer oxygen atoms will end in -ite. When there are more than two polyatomic ions composed of the same elements, the prefix hypo- indicates the least number of oxygen atoms, and the prefix per- will indicate the most oxygen per ion.
| Less Oxygen | More Oxygen | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| hypo- | -ite | -ate | per- |
Look at the paradigm for chlorine oxyanions below. Continue reading
Welcome graphic from Oppia.org
While aboutst the Web for other purposes, I had the pleasure of stumbling upon Oppia.org. Developed by some Googlers in their 20% side-project time, Oppia provides an open-source engine for educators, tutors, or anyone really to easily create learning “explorations” on about any topic.
The ability and versatility in the framework behind these explorations makes Oppia ideal for guided inquiry. What really makes it special is the ability to script advanced feedback rules to guide the learner toward correct responses. Continue reading
New in our growing list of Study Putty learning games is a game for memorizing the charges of the polyatomic ions. You can test yourself here (match chemical formulas to charges) and here (match names to charges), or visit the Study Putty homepage to see all our topics.
And if you’re just looking for a quick reference, here’s a list of the polyatomic ions, including the charge. Continue reading
The distance formula & the midpoint formula
Looking for a shapes/solids or coordinate geometry formula PDF? You are in the right area, alright. Coordinate your studies with this high volume of formulas.
Three puns of that caliber in row and I’ve found the midpoint of self-loathing.
Geeze, I can’t stop. I’m on a downward…slope. Continue reading
