The purpose of this research was to see how the use of blended learning and online resources would help chemistry students improve their understanding of difficult chemistry topics and reduce their stress level. The research was carried out in a regular chemistry class, in a five-week intervention with the Mole Unit. The blended learning consisted of students watching videos at home, school or both and then working with classroom activities that fostered active learning. The results indicated that blended learning, use of visual aids and homework reinforced the knowledge learned in class and prepared students for exams.
