Suggested sites for integration into the chemistry classroom
Diane Szaflarski at dms@chem.duke.edu
for information on these or
for suggestions on other sites for your classroom.

Set of images to visualize molecule. Set of web pages put together to
show students Lewis dot structures and molecular geometry for general
chemistry. This includes PDB files of some small molecules.
You are free to download these and distribute them to your students.
http:/www.cchem.berkeley.edu:8080/VSEPR/VSEPR.html
VSEPR structures from the ModularCHEM Consortium. Can see real time rotatable
images using RASMOL program. Downloadable through this
site.

The Protein Databank at NIH (dazzle and amaze your students). List of
proteins and 3-d viewing.
http://www.shef.ac.uk/~chem/web-elements/
There are several sites that provide information about the elements of the
periodic table; this is one of them. It includes information on the chemical,
physical, nuclear, biological, geological, electronic, etc. properties of
the elements. Very nicely done. Contains a vast amount of information on the
elements.
http://www/ncsa.uiuc.edu/Edu/ChemVis/
The Chemistry Visualization program at NCSA (ChemViz) is a program which
uses the power of the world wide web in combination with the power of the
SGI supercomputer to generate images of atoms, molecules and atomic orbitals.
Within this site is The Cambridge Structural Database (CSD) which houses
information on hundreds of thousands of organic molecules (like cocaine,
cholesterol, nicotine) including coordinate data and bonding
information.
http://www.mc.maricopa.edu/academic/phy_sci/Chemistry/faculty/dorland/chime.html
Web page with a table of links to chemistry pages for students to use in
general, bio- and organic chemistry. Most utilize the Chime plugin, which
\puts 3D interactive molecules in a window on the page. Give tutorial as to
how to download Chime.

A Teacher's Guide to Superconductivity for High School Students.
Written at for teachers or advanced (AP students). Covers the basics of
superconductivity, chemistry of superconductors, etc. Developed by a high
school teacher and a researcher at Oak Ridge National
Laboratory.

Steve Brown's “Exobiology for High School Students and Teachers on th Internet
has been developed in collaboration with Cruising Chemistry
(University of California, San Diego), La Jolla High School (La Jolla,
Ca.), and the NASA Outreach Program in Exobiology (University of California,
San Diego). This work is under construction. Steve is currently integrating
aspects of this site into his classroom curriculum. The site contains text
and images designed to be downloaded, viewed directly, or printed for
classroom distribution.
http://kauai.cudenver.edu:3010
This site contains a module written about the chemistry of food, nutrition,
and the physiology of digestion. It is not only chemistry, but definitely
has chemistry in it. This is a very well written on-line site for teachers
who want to introduce nutrition into their science classes. It is written at
the high school level. Students can work through the module on their own as
a complement to classroom discussion and activities.
http://www.nceet.snre.umich.edu/
This site contains information about aspects of environmental education
which are on the internet.
http://www.uq.oz.au/nanoworld/nanohome.html#menu
The homepage of NANOworld which describes microscopy SEM and TEM and gives
images of materials at atomic, molecular, cellular and macromolecular scales.
Tells about the Center of Microscopy and Microanalysis at the University of
Queenslands. Interdisciplinary research and service facility dedicated to an
understanding of the structure and composition of all materials at atomic,
molecular, cellular and macromolecular scales.
Interesting for a few examples but the explanations of the microscopes, etc.
are not written at the high school level. Jargon is quite
technical.

Bill Nye the Science Guy. Information about the PBS episode the of the day.
Also science demonstrations. Level geared to the 4th to 8th grades.
Politics and Chemistry
http://hammock.ifas.ufl.edu/txt/fairs/31610
This site has a lot of information about the laws that deal with Agricultural
Chemicals and related issues.
II. Teacher Resources
http://hackberry.chem.niu.edu/intranets/bow96.html
Features the “Best of Chemistry for 1996. This site contains the “bes
links to databases, conferences, journals, etc. related to chemistry.
A good resource site for educators and chemists.
http://www.ceismc.gatech.edu/BusyT/
Web sites for busy teachers. Not too many sites for chemistry
http://www.ncrel.org/
This site provide schools (primary and secondary) with tools and outlines
of how to go about improving their school. It provides outlines for putting
together plans and documents that are necessary to bring about strategic
change.
http://www.lanl.gov/Public/Welcome.html
This is the web site from Los Alamos National Labs. Information on their
outreach programs such as visiting labs, etc.
http://www.enc.org/
