High School Chemistry Resources on the Web 500 links for high
school chemistry. It has links for chemistry of food,
homework help, periodic table, science education, constants&
equations, tutorials, science help on the net, lecture notes for
things like chem. 101 and others for specific
universities/colleges, science publications and news, science
search engines, science museums, discoveries & inventions,
humor, organizations, standardized tests, contests, molecular
modeling, projects, and simulations.
http://schmidel.com/hub/chem.htm
Quality index of sites covering all aspects of high school
chemistry (such as labs, references, and interactive molecular
structures), but will prove especially helpful in doing homework
or studying or looking for some funny diversions.
http://w3.nai.net/~bobsalsa/tutorial.htm T
his site has tutorials in calculations suitable for high school
chemistry. (dimensional analysis, conversion formulas,
etc.)
http://dbhs.wvusd.k12.ca.us/ChemTeamIndex.html
A great tutorial of high school chemistry - in progress! This
site has practice problems and answers.
http://www.101science.com/Chemistry.htm
This site defines different types of chemistry, offers tutorials,
recommends books to read in order to learn more about chemistry
and its many topics.
http://www.bced.gov.bc.ca/irp/chem1112/ch1111.htm
Balanced equations to mole ratio.
http://zopyros.ccqc.uga.edu/lec_top/quantrev/quantrev.html
Gives a basic and complicated explanation of quantum mechanics
complete with formulas, practice problems and solutions.
http://www.chemtutor.com/
This site seems very user-friendly, without a lot of complicated
explanations and graphics to confuse a student on how to find
what he or she is looking for. As this says, this is designed to
be a supplement for any chemistry course, not a course in itself.
It seems very easy to access information by topics.

General Chemistry Concepts, Good, basic, easy to read and
understand information on chemical concepts
http://dbhs.wvusd.k12.ca.us/ChemTeamIndex2.html

The homepage of Professor Bassam Z. Shakhashiri, a man who shares
his love of Chemistry with others - lots of great demonstration
ideas!
http://www.anachem.umu.se/eks/pointers.htm T
his site is incredible! While it does not contain any information
itself, it has a directory of hundreds of sites divided into 10
or 15 major categories like demonstrations, labs, safety, etc.
This is a great jumping off point for your search for teaching
resources.
http://pc65.frontier.osrhe.edu/hs/science/demochm.htm
This site has a demo for each topic covered in chemistry.
It includes instructions as to how to do the demonstration but it
leaves it up to the teacher to determine the safety issues
involved. It does give warning as to how hazardous the demo is
but you still need to be aware of the dangers and use the
demonstrations with caution.
http://chem01.usca.sc.edu/proton/ppdemo.htm
This site lists hands on
demonstrations which can be done by using common materials found
in the grocery store: This is a list of the Demonstrations: 1.
Collapsing Containers,2. Liquids to Lumps (Precipitation
Reactions),3.Invisible Ink (Chemical Identification), 4.Foam, 5.
Red, White, and Blue.

The Pictorial Periodic Table allows you to click each element for
a file of information. You can also search for elements by
other properties such as density, type of matter, atomic weight,
and atomic number. It was a helpful tool for my students
last six weeks.

If you enjoy Tom Leher this site will give you the lyrics to his
Element Song. If you have a 314K QuickTime sound file for Mac you
can have music too.
