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.

General
Chemistry Virtual Textbook - This work-in-progress consists of two classes
of documents: Chem1 Reference Text chapters and Tutorial units.
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.
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.
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.
