From the reactions that fuel the sun to the biology of our bodies to the technology in our gadgets, chemistry is at the heart of everything we do and is the central science that unites biology, physics, geology, astronomy, medicine, and countless other fields. Yet chemistry doesn’t always get the credit and recognition it deserves for playing such an awesome role in, well, everything
"checking out a few (or all) of these amazing chemistry videos online. Some are funny, some impressive, but all will showcase the true awesomeness of chemistry"
Chem Collective is a project designed and maintained by Carnegie Mellon University's chemistry department and the National Science Digital Library. On Chem Collective you will find virtual labs for chemistry experiments, simulations, visualizations, tutorials, and auto-graded problems. Students and teachers can search the site by resource type or by chemistry topic.
This chart contains information on all of the isotopes of the elements. Very comprehensive, and a useful resource for atomic structure and nuclear chemistry units within chemistry.
Blog post of links to several good periodic tables. Useful for chemistry students and for middle school students doing research on elements. Some interactive. Some with videos.
Here is a stockpile of free articles from past issues of ChemMatters and the teacher's guides that accompany them. These would be a great supplemental resources for chemistry and physical science teachers.
"Following a series of scientific tests on the grilling conditions, the Royal Society of Chemistry has today announced the formula for the perfect slice."
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.
