Internet Resources for High School Chemistry Teachers and Students
(In alphabetical Order)
ACS Education Programs
http://www.acs.org/education/Each of these areas is subdivided into (at least) these groups: K through 8, high school, and college.
Curriculum materials
Also includes supplemental materials such as videotapes and CD-ROM’s. For instance, "Chemistry in the Marketplace" is a supplemental book that talks about the chemistry of everyday objects.
Professional Development
Includes workshops and satellite TV seminars geared specifically toward teachers.
Student programs (for high school students)
Careers
Provides information about pursuing a career in chemistry, including ACS approved undergraduate schools, information on obtaining financial aid, publications providing a brief description of chemical careers in addition to the educational and skills requirements, employment outlook, and salaries for each.
Chemistry Olympiad
Describes everything from the local to international competitions. Applications are available at this site.
Project SEED
A program for disadvantaged students which matches each student with a scientist-mentor with whom he works in a lab doing hands-on-research for a summer.
Chemical Bonds, Molecular Shapes, and Molecular Models
http://www.eosc.osshe.edu/chemweb/molmodel/mmp1.htmlAn online tutorial that teaches students how to build molecular models, including viewing and manipulation of 3D molecular models. It also has pictures of each step required to build a molecular model.
Chemistry Tutoring Center
http://www.towson.edu/~ladon/Provides very useful study guides (including both problem solving and reviews) on the principles of General Chemistry and Organic Chemistry, but some of it is rather advanced. (It is maintained by a college student who tutors other college students.) Also contains other useful chemistry links.
ChemTeam: A Tutorial for High School Chemistry
http://dbhs.wvusd.k12.ca.us/ChemTeamIndex.htmlDirected specifically toward high school chemistry students, it reviews many chemistry topics and does tutorial-type analysis of problems. However, the reviews may not be any different from the information in the student’s textbook. It also includes links to online tutors who will answer students’ questions about chemistry (from high school to the college level).
Nelson Chemistry Resource Page
http://www.agt.net/public/alariv/nelson.htmWONDERFUL site for both students and teachers. The front page is a list of the most useful websites for the Nelson Chemistry textbook, organized chapter by chapter. There are also links for teachers to direct them to the most useful lesson plans, teaching aids, and curriculum. For students, there are links to many wonderful sites, including one to "Beakman and Jax," which is a really great webpage that is interactive and fun, which also explains the chemistry behind things like Gak and hairballs (and how to make them)!
Science Resource Center
http://198.110.10.57/Chem/EastSciRes.htmlIncludes great labs for Chemistry I and II, including the entire procedure and list of equipment needed. Some are very practical, such as the determination of the amount of lead in Grecian Formula. Also includes some wonderful demonstrations for both levels of chemistry, quizzes, tests, and exams. Teachers can post these items to this site, also.
Steve Marsden’s Chemistry Home Page
http://home.earthlink.net/~smarsden/Created/maintained by an AP and Honors Chemistry teacher for other high school chemistry teachers and students. Contains an outline for a one-year AP Chemistry course with links to old lecture notes, related experiments and demonstrations, and practice problems, quizzes, and self-tests (for which the sources are referenced). Also contains more links (with descriptions of them) to tutorials, lecture notes, and self-graded tests (see "Course Materials" under "WWW Links"). Students can also submit chemistry questions to Steve Marsden (the teacher) via this site, or they can get homework help online (see "Miscellaneous Chemistry Links" under "WWW Links").
