The Catalyst - This
site has been developed specifically for the secondary education/high school
level teacher, as a resource for finding relevant information for use in the
teaching of chemistry.
Chembalancer
is a little online game to teach balancing equations. You type numbers in
front of each molecule until there are the same number of atoms on both sides
of the equation, then click the 'Balanced' button.
Chemistry4Kids has sections
on Matter, Elements, Atoms, Math, and Reactions.
Chemistry 11
and Chemistry
12 - Powerpoints, study notes, labs, worksheets, and assignments created
by Jeremy Schneider; All text references refer to Fundamentals of Chemistry,
3rd Edition, by Brady & Holum
Chemistry Drill
and Practice Tutorials - These problems were developed by Professor George
Wiger (gwiger@chemistry.csudh.edu) at California State University, Dominguez
Hills, CA.
A Chemical
Equation Balancing Mystery - Designed for grades 10 - 12. A monkey has
been killed and you must use your chemical equation balancing skills to solve
the mystery.
The Mad Scientists Network has an archive
of previous Chemistry questions and answers. Have you wondered why Coca-Cola
is corrosive? That and much more can be found in the archive.
Marvelous
Molecules - The Secret of Life is the first ever hands-on exhibition exploring
the shared chemistry of all living things.
The NIST Chemistry WebBook
provides users with access to chemical and physical property data for chemical
species through the Internet
Nobel
Prizes in Chemistry from 1901 to 1998. Most of these entries are simply
text, but some provide links to other pages.
Organic
and Biochemical Animations including molecular rotations and other chemical
concepts. The 65 animations range in size from 66K to a funny animation on
Conversion of potential to kinetic energy which is 1023K.
Periodic
Tables:
American Elements - This
commercial site offers an interactive periodic table. Caution: some elements
are not hyper linked; none of the Noble gases for instance. Since this
is a commercial site, elements in products which they do not sell are
not hyper linked (Plutonium for example).
ChemicalElements.com
has a nice table with Internet links to sites about the elements.
Dmitri Ivanovich
Mendeleev - We will never be able to attribute to a single individual
the development of the basic building blocks of writing. Yet we do know
the name of the man who devised the method of classifying the basic building
blocks of matter. Dmitri Ivanovich Mendeleev!
Periodic
Table - This common chemistry tool is presented as a PowerPoint
show with web links to pages about each element. Invisible buttons are
used on slide 2. (There are 109 invisible buttons on one slide.) Download
the show and take a look!
Proton
Don - [this link opens in a new window]
a FunBrain game using a periodic table that contains the elements' symbols
and their periodic numbers.
Science is Fun in the
Lab of Shakhashiri. A master of chemical demonstrations, University of
Wisconsin-Madison Chemistry Professor Bassam Z. Shakhashiri, shares the fun
of science through home science activities, demonstration shows, videos, and
books. Information about these and other science fun stuff is available there.
Scientific Notation
- a lesson on why and how to use scientific notation. There is also a worksheet
to allow practice of the concept.
Significant
Digits - an interactive site to allow practice on identifying the number
of significant digits in a displayed number. A student gets immediate feedback
regarding the correctness of their answer, however there are no clues given
if a student is wrong.
Significant Figures
- Scientific notation is the most reliable way of expressing a number to a
given number of significant figures. In scientific notation, the power of
ten is insignificant.
Tutorials
to help you understand various chemical concepts and problems including: How
to Determine the Polarity of a Molecule, Balancing Chemical Equations, Empirical
Formulas, The Solubility Rules, The Periodic Table, and more.
