There is an assignment on right now for organic chemistry students. You may end up getting some questions through VR. They need to find a melting point for a chemical substance. They should start by looking at the resources listed under "Starting Sources for Physical Property Data". You can refer them to this subject guide: https://umanitoba.libapps.com/libguides/admin_c.php?g=297470&p=1993914 (It is the Organic Chemistry course guide under the Chemistry subject guide). They can also email me if they need more information.
The students also need to find a journal article with the melting point. The best resource is SciFinder for this type of search. There is a video on this same page (link on the left-hand side of the page) to "Using SciFinder to Find Property Data". Everyone needs to set up their own SciFinder account. There is a link to SciFinder on the course guide page as well.
