This is an Amazing resource for modeling science topics with simulations! Run by the University of Colorado at Boulder, there are tons of interactive simulations including ones I've used in my classes that are very helpful in visualizing certain topics. The website also has shared activities from teachers across the country including lesson plans, homework, demos, and labs for all grade levels!

This is a site run by the UIUC Department of Physics and their outreach program The Physics Van. Although this is focused more towards the elementary level, it is still a good source for Q and A about physics topics.

I thought was a great walk-through of the inqury and model based teaching approach. It also had a fantastic real-world example to base it off of, which can be easily used in any chemistry classroom.

I found this site when looking for ideas to use in an upcoming demo/lesson about chemical and physical properties/changes. I guess there are only 25 experiments listed currently, but it gave me some good ideas to potentially use!
