The UN has declared 2011 as the International Year of Chemistry. Activities on this site throughout the year hope to re-introduce chemistry to people throughout the world - to show that chemistry is inseparable from our lives and from modern society.
NBC Learn and the National Science Foundation have launched Chemistry Now, a series of rich media resources that can be used in, and out, of the classroom to engage kids in chemistry. High quality videos with interesting topics.
website from the British Pharmaceutical industry. Interactive sims for chemistry and biology. Periodic table activities and population studies are two good ones here.
"Here you will find exemplary digital resources, tools, and online services-your 24:7 aid for teaching and learning chemistry. A collaborative, community-driven effort, ChemEd DL is the place for sharing your work and benefitting from what others have done."
bsorb is a series of interactive online courses for secondary schools, covering physics, chemistry, electronics, mathematics and advanced physics. Our unique simulations, interactive animations, and videos, are linked by an involving narrative, providing the basis for an interactive learning experience.
Each title offers a huge amount of interactivity - ranging from simple animations that show hidden concepts, to powerful models that allow flexible experimentation.
Each title is well-suited to self-study or review, or provides a framework to teach in front of the whole class on a whiteboard.
Calculator Soup collects all sorts of online calculators in one free site. Calculators range from basic to complicated and have specific functions like conversion, time, finance, and chemistry. A great tool for students who do not have specific calculators or forget them.
This is a really KOOL site. Check out the "activity" portion of the subject areas. This is from Britain but wonderful. I liked the Chemistry "Atoms Metals Rocks and Fuels" > activity!
