Yale+Professor+Lecture

The following is a video of a lecture by Yale professor J. Michael McBride. It seems to be the first day of freshman organic chemistry. He discusses the nature of science and learning chemistry and offers a very intersting view of some history in science.

 * I changed my mind about you sending your response via e-mail**. WHY? Because I said so :-)...ha.ha just kidding......actually it is because I feel there is great value in being able to collaborate by reading each other's posts. With that said you are probably wondering about the point value. I will split the difference.....Post in the discussion area for 4 extra credit points!! :-) You need only post once, providing substantial evidence that you watched the video, however, feel free to also respond to other's posts. The deadline is midnight on wednesday 3/23.

If you like him, he has other videos online. You may want to make a note of this (create an annotated bibliography) because it could be a very useful resource when you are in college.

If interested, here is another one of his lectures related to bonding and the forces that bind things together. This is relevant to the topics we are covering in CH10 and 11. []
