Enjoy the following websites, many with links to
others . . .
http://www.flinnsci.com : Flinn Scientific has
always been at the forefront of high school chemistry
education. This site is filled with valuable teaching
resources for the high school teacher, including freebies,
as well as the schedule of the FSF Summer Chemistry
Workshops and an application. It also features links to
other useful sites.
http://chemed.chem.purdue.edu/genchem/index.html
: The general chemistry help home page of this
Purdue University site is a real treasure for general
chemistry students and teachers and is filled with useful
information. Topic reviews, demonstration sheets, laboratory
information, help with problem-solving, even an extensive
test file can be found here. It's a one-stop tutorial for
students needing additional help or for teachers looking for
good ideas.
http://dwb.unl.edu
: This site, developed by David Brooks at the
University of Nebraska, has many items of interest for
chemistry students and teachers. Select "HS Chemistry
Teachers" from the main menu and then "All Chemistry
Materials" to reveal description chemistry questions (AP
chemistry reactions and net equations), balancing chemical
equations or a solution concentration calculator. Puzzles
for students can also be found along with lots of good
things to download from Synaps.
http://www.TheCatalyst.org : This award winning
site specifically developed for the high school chemistry
teacher is easy to navigate, contains truly relevant
information about labs for general through AP chemistry and
offers links to other useful sites.
http://jchemed.chem.wisc.edu : At this site, you
can search by author, title or keyword for any article ever
published in the Journal of Chemical Education.
http://chem.lapeer.org : This site provides high
school chemistry, biology and physics teachers with
demonstrations, labs and teaching tips.
http://www.anachem.umu.se : Any periodic table
that you can imagine can be found at this site (along with
other teacher resources). There's even one that when you
click on an element, it produces several full-sized colored
comic book covers where that element is mentioned. A great
source for many different and unique approaches to the
periodic table.
www.VAST.org
: Stay informed about activities and opportunities from the
Virginia Association of Science Teachers, a state affiliate
of the National Science Teachers Association.
http://www.lapeer.lib.mi.us/chemcom/index.html

download worksheets, labs and lab revisions, demonstrations
and projects for the standard eight units.
www.sciencenews.org/sn_arc99/12_18_99b :
This page on the Science News website contains links to the
ideas and books of the last millennium. Under the books
section is listed Darwin's Origin of Species and Faraday's
Lectures. Links to the full texts of some of the books are
contained in the summary links.
http://www.shef.ac.uk/chemistry/orbitron/
The Orbitron is a gallery of atomic orbitals
and molecular orbitals on the WWW. It contains images
representing atomic orbitals and molecular orbitals;
Animated plots of wave functions; and Animated plots of
electron density .
http://www.shef.ac.uk/chemistry/vsepr/
Valence Shell Electron Pair Repulsion (VSEPR) This
is an introduction to VSEPR rules for the prediction of
molecular shape. In addition, try the Sheffield Chemputer
one component of which is an interactive VSEPR calculator.
http://www.webelements.com/ WebElements
aims to be a high quality source of chemistry information on
the WWW relating to the periodic table. Coverage is such
that professional scientists and students at school
interested in chemistry and other sciences will all find
something useful.
