"A great chemistry app for PC, Mac and iPad which lets you explore the molecular composition of everyday objects."

"Gradually, an important and growing evidence of the impact of understanding neuroscience in terms of learning and education has started to inform pedagogy, along with a better appreciation of how we learn. Yet, there is a lot of confusion and misunderstanding to what neuroscience science is, and many within the education sector would struggle to explain the principles, science and research to recognise how the brain processes information. Fundamentally, neuroscience literally means the 'science of the nervous system', making use of the principles and many techniques from the main science disciplines of physics, chemistry and biology."

"An interactive periodic table of elements showing common uses, properties, description and more."

"Discover how and where gold is formed… it's out of this world!"

Videos and lessons for chemistry classes that can be used as a review.

Great website with lesson plans and lots of multimedia covering basic chemistry topics. Though titled "middle school chemistry" much of the material can be referred to or used for basic high school chemistry or even biology (such as the basics on bonding, water molecules, etc).

Worth a bump, I stumbled upon this gem today. Excellent resource, there is even a free pdf textbook.

Middle School Chemistry lessons with worksheets and standards.

STEM teacher resources, American Chemistry Society

This is an chemistry curriculum example.  It includes a summary of the unit, essential questions, standards, vocab, concepts, and assessment tasks.

Download this Apple and Android app which simulates a huge range of chemical reactions and find lots of interactive information about the chemical elements.

This Apple app bills itself as 'part toy, part chemistry experiment'. Connect augmented reality blocks to digitally mix/react chemicals together and view the information and visualisations. No fume cupboard necessary.

A scientist's curiosity cabinet of gadgets, gizmos, devices demonstrating scientific principles.

Very engaging activities!

"Fire and water: mortal enemies? Not so fast! Here are 5 ways to start a fire, using water."

"How to write electron configurations using the periodic table, or why I think that ptable.com is a great tool for chemistry students!"

"The lack of interest in math or natural sciences is one of the most frequently voiced causes for concern in the debate surrounding education, at least in Germany. It has been seen time and again that pupils lose their enthusiasm for physics, chemistry and math once they reach eighth or ninth grade. But is this inevitable? And if not, how can teachers steer a different course?"

This is a fabulous and fascinating YouTube channel where all sorts of science ideas are explored and explained in a friendly and engaging way. The topics range from near Earth Asteroid to dung beetles. The videos often cover science stories that are currently in the news. http://ictmagic.wikispaces.com/Science
