Undergraduate chemistry students deal with many different chemical compounds on a day-to-day basis. Whether it be searching for the molecular mass of a compound in general chemistry, searching for the solubility of a common solute in organic chemistry, or searching for an InChI in cheminformatics, students utilize online chemical databases. The searching tools available in public online databases like PubChem are often under-utilized by chemistry students, even though they could really be of great value throughout the students’ educational journeys. In this project a series of video tutorials to educate students on how the PubChem advanced search options work are developed. These videos will aid today’s generations of chemistry enthusiasts so they can get the most out of this resource, and thus, the most out of their education.
