The U.S. National Olympiad (USNCO) is a multi-tiered competition designed to stimulate and promote achievement in high school chemistry. The Goals of the USNCO and the schedule are set by a subcommittee of the ACS Society Committee on Education (SOCED).
Adventures with Atoms and Molecules is a series of books that contains biology, chemistry, and geology experiments. Each experiment can be done as a classroom activity or at home with easy-to-find materials. Each book contains instructions for 30 experiments that show the effectiveness of the scientific method.
This series of books introduces you to science with wacky facts and information. Inspired by the British series of history books by Terry Deary, this set of books covers physics, chemistry and natural sciences.
Written primarily for high school and college-101 students, this updated edition covers all important chemistry topics, including atomic structure, bonding, chemical formulas, gases, chemical calculations, liquids, solids, and phase changes, chemical reactions, acids, bases, salts, electrochemistry, the basics of organic chemistry, and other related subjects. The book also presents five practice tests with answers, charts, reference tables and a helpful glossary.
Discover This is a fun, yet educational website that sells Chemistry Sets, and Chemistry Kits for kids.
This line of science kits is available in Biology/Life Science, Earth Science, Environmental Science, Physical Science, Chemistry and Elementary Science. Complete hands-on activities provides all the material needed and allows students to individually participate, making science experiments a personal and living experience every time!
This chemistry site for children provides interactive discussions on the general topics of matter, elements, math and reaction, including a short quiz after each section.
This site has links and resources for high school and college level chemistry, including general resources, tutorial sites, "neat stuff to know," "odd stuff," Q & A and software. There is even a link to an online textbook.
This website is a virtual lab that allows you to conduct common (and not so common) experiments and get the results that you would get if you actually conducted the lab. The IrYdium Project, and CREATE Project, develop educational software that can be integrated flexibly into introductory chemistry courses nationwide. Our goal is to create simulation-based learning environments where college and high school students can approach chemistry more like practicing scientists and see interesting real-world applications of key concepts. Network Computing and Remote Database Technology make it easy to use the software over the web.
This website is Oxford University's award-winning Chemistry resource containing a "Pre-University" Chemistry Course, "Virtual Experiments" with "practicals" and VR movies of actual experiments, chemistry Quicktime TV, and much more. A great resource for anyone seriously interested in chemistry.
This website features an interactive Periodic Table of the Elements. Clicking on any of of the elements takes the users to detailed information about that element.
This site offers an encyclopedia of mathematics, chemistry, physics and astronomy that gives a complete definition of the item you are looking for and relevant examples.
An interactive science lab that allows kids to experiment with the principles of science. Three sections focus on biology, physics, and chemistry. There are experiments, activities, and questions and answer sections. The graphics/animations are very kid friendly.
This DVD is available online for purchase. In Volume 1 - Water, Water Everywhere, Chemist Derek Crawford explores the science of water with 10 experiments. All experiments can be conducted in your kitchen using materials you probably have or can easily get at a grocery store. The experiments include historical anecdotes and interactive game.
Quality Science Labs offers unique lab kits designed to be hands-on or laboratory portion of a science class. Their award winning MicroChem Kit chemistry lab is coordinated with many popular texts and covers many topics typically discussed in high school chemistry. The microscale method used provides a safe setting for students to do labs while also being environmentally friendly. This is a great alternative for home schools and small schools that want more than just "kitchen chemistry."
This is a sophisticated chemistry set with 1,500 experiments and detailed step-by-step instructions. Covers 15 areas, including organic chemistry, bichemical reactions and electrochemistry.
The Khan Academy is a not-for-profit organization with the mission of providing a high quality education to anyone, anywhere. the Khan Academy has 1000+ videos on YouTube covering everything from basic arithmetic and algebra to differential equations, physics, chemistry, biology and finance which have been recorded by Salman Khan.
Tables charting the chemical elements have been around since the 19th century - but this modern version has a short video about each one.
The Quirkles® are 26 imaginary scientists that help children everyday, all over the world, develop a love and appreciation for science.
