I'm assuming that you aren't the only teacher who going to be
teaching chemistry (then again, maybe you are). If not why not
get with the other teachers and see what they have to offer - no
sense reinventing all the wheels on the cart. And I know that
some places require teachers in the same department to pretty
much teach things in a similar manner.

Good luck with your first year.
