Below are some things I've found helpful when doing some of the course work.
Maybe you'll find something of interest. Enjoy!
Conversion Programs
Here's a .pdf file for how to convert
units.
If your wanting a freeware version for your computer then download
this program (its zipped up).
I found this other conversion of units in .pdf form which I also found at
this

you'd like it in Word97 format click

I've placed some files here that you might find useful for T172. They are of
course in .pdf format.
Scientific Notation
Want some writing tips for the OU? I found this .pdf document on a tutor's web site for T171 last year. It came in handy so I thought I'd post it. Here's yet
another good site for essay help.
Want some help using the Equation Editor in Word97? Go to this tutor's
web

Want some past exam papers for the OU? Then go to this site for the listing of papers along with prices.
Miscellaneous
There is a T172 email list if you'd like to join it go
here.
I found this sheet from an OU tutor's page (the link is in the right hand corner of the .pdf file) and thought some of it pertained to T172.
You might want to visit my math page if your struggling with the math part of this course. There might be something of value there for you.
Want some more help on carbon cycles? Lots of places on the web that help in this area but found these two that were quite good.
What is the carbon cycle?

My notes from T172 - they are in
.pdf format.

1? They are complete hope you find them useful. Remember they're in .pdf format.
Want my Audio and Video notes? Yep, .pdf format, you're learning! =)
Periodic Tables
Here's a link to a periodic
table. I also have the printable version in .pdf format here. If you'd like to know more about atoms and how they work you can view these small .pdf files I saved. There's plenty more online.

TMA Template
If you'd like a TMA template then you can find a MS Word equivalent here. Thanks to Guy for letting me post it here. You can reach him by
clicking here to let him know you find his tool useful.
Would you like a TMA planning
template? I got this from a T171 conference (sorry to whoever's work this is and I've not given you credit - let me know
(e-mail address on index
page) who you are and I will!). I found it came in quite handy so have kept using it. It is in Word97 format so you'll need that program. If you need it in .rtf format
click here.
Revised: 14 November 2002 - no more
