Hi everyone! I was wondering if anyone knew any helpful pharmacology sites. I can't seem to absorb the equivalencies, and time is ticking! Our next test is dimensional analysis and conversions and I'm getting nervous! Any advice on how to retain this stuff??? Thanks!

Here are some links that you might find helpful:

http://www.chemistrycoach.com/math_skills_for_chemistry_tutori.htm#Dimensional%2 0Analysis - here is a list of dimensional analysis links that was put together for high school students to help them learn how to use DA. There's a lot of humor here.

http://www.wwnorton.com/chemistry/tutorials/ch1.htm - click on "1.4 Dimensional Analysis". It is an interactive program that explains DA using animation rather than video in what I thought were very simple terms. Also includes several problems you can try your hand at which are not chemistry related but utilize the concepts of DA.

Just click here where it tells you to click here and you are in the program! The left side of the screen has the outline of the course so you always know where you are in the program, or you can skip to a part you particularly want to focus on. There are quizzes at the end of the various sections. This is from the University of San Francisco School of Nursing.
