Chemistry Resources
Updated - April 8, 2002
An interactive periodic table - developed at M.I.T.
Chem4kids - Grades 6-12 contains six sections ranging from Matter, to Math in Chemistry, and Chemical Reactions. Information on each topic is presented clearly. Hyperlinks are included to assist students in understanding terms.
Amino-Acids (in German) - Grades 9-12 outlines each amino acid including its abbreviation and structural compound.
BioChemLinks - Grades 8-12 covers news of the week in areas related to Biology and Chemistry. Site includes articles in an easy to read newspaper format. Print and discuss current research findings in class.
The Catalyst - Grades 9-12 includes WWW chemistry resources for high school teachers. Click on "Teaching" to find lesson plans on chemistry. Sites on Organic Chemistry, the History of Chemistry, as well as magazine articles are included.
ChemCenter - Grades 6-12 focuses on chemical-related sciences. It is geared to chemical professionals in industry, and professionals in both education and government. Click on "Education" then scroll down to "K-12" for classroom resources divided into "K-8" and "High School Chemistry".
The Chem Team - Grades 9-12 - This high school chemistry tutorial was authored by a high school chemistry teacher in California. Targeted to both teachers and students, it provides an extremely straightforward approach to both the content and teaching problems encountered in teaching high school chemistry. The site could be useful for teachers who want to hone their skills in specific areas, or for students who need to review particular topics or supplement their knowledge in a specific area.
Chemistry Functions - Periodic Table - Grades 9-12 - This page - part of a larger chemistry site at Stanford University - offers a concise, Java-enhanced periodic table which allows users to click an element and learn pertinent facts about that element. There are also links to related chemistry functions such as balancing chemical equations, etc.
An Interactive Periodic Table - Grades 6-12 - Created at Los Alamos National Laboratory, this site offers a colorful periodic table with detailed scientific information on each element, along with notes on the uses of many of the elements listed. The result is far more engaging that one might initially believe.
Chemistry Teaching Resources - Grades 9-12 from Sweden's Umeå University lists chemistry teaching resources. Resources include courses, curriculum material, demonstrations and experiments, science links, history, newsgroups, and software.
Curiosities Related to Analytical Chemistry - Grades 9-12 provides unusual and somewhat offbeat sites that would be great for class discussions.
General Chemistry Online - Grades 10-12 - This is a newly-updated version of an introductory guide and procedures manual for an entry-level college chemistry course. It could also serve as a useful reference for students at the high school level. There are study guides, lessons, lab examples, and a variety of other useful resources.
Hyperactive Molecules - Grades 9-12 uses a molecular "visualizer" to show data taken from crystallographic databases, spectroscopic techniques, and quantum chemistry calculations. The site is divided into sections. Scroll down and begin by clicking on one of the thumbnail sketches.
NIST Chemistry WebBook - Grades 9-12 provides thermo-chemical, thermo-physical, and ion energetics data in a searchable format. Also included are datasets on " Thermophysical Properties of Fluid Systems."
The Chemistry Hypermedia Project - Grades 6-12 includes several hypermedia tutorials on Analytical Chemistry, Electronics, General and Inorganic Chemistry, Optics, and Lasers. The reviews could be part of a homework assignment.
WebElements - Grades 6-12 - Another periodic table site. This one has pictures of crystal structures, atomic weights, and lots of other data.
