TACT Resources & Links

 

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 : A gathering place for ChemCom teachers to upload and 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.

http://www.chemsoc.org/networks/enc/FECS/100chemists.htm  Celebration of 100 Distinguished European Chemists from the Chemical Revolution to the 21st Century

http://www.chemicalelements.com/   An online, interactive periodic table of the elements, which is quite interesting.

http://scifun.chem.wisc.edu/chemweek/chemweek.html   In his General Chemistry courses, Prof. Shakhashiri distributes a weekly fact sheet about a chemical or type of chemical to increase students' knowledge about chemicals, their production, cost, and uses. Some very interesting information and animations.

http://www.chm.bris.ac.uk/sillymolecules/sillymols.htm  Many molecules with silly names. Yes, there really is a Moronic Acid!

http://chemistry.about.com/od/chemistryfunhumor/   Chemistry Fun & Humor. Ok, it's acknowledged that cramming for an organic exam isn't fun, but chemists are hilarious! Here is a collection of the funniest and strangest chemistry websites. There are sites that are just 'fun' too.

http://www.shodor.org/   Shodor’s mission is to advance science and math education through the use of computational science, modeling and technology. This web site has interactive activities and instructional materials for students, educators, and parents; Workshops, online courses, and educational resources geared towards educators; and Internships and workshops that provide students with resources in computational science. Also take a look at their math models. They may be useful in class.
