This "learning tool" is called
WebElements. There are lots of
periodic charts out on the web, but this one is one of the best.
ScientificAmerican.com has
selected the WebElements web
site as a winner of the 2002 Sci/Tech Web Awards. |

The
Chemistry Collective is a
collection of virtual labs, scenario-based learning activities, and
concepts tests which can be incorporated into a variety of teaching
approaches as pre-labs, alternatives to textbook homework, and in-class
activities for individuals or teams. It is organized by a group of faculty
and staff at Carnegie Mellon University for college and high school
teachers. |

This elegant and conceptually clear
"learning tool" is called
Gas Law
Animation. Within a closed container students can adjust pressure,
volume, and temperature. They can also increase and decrease the number of
Helium and Neon atoms that enter the container. Make sure you click on the
"click here" button for a great pdf that describes the instructions and
more! Developed by Dr. John Gelder at the
Department of Chemistry at
Oklahoma State University. |

Just click the element you want to start
with and then click one that will bond with it, the name of this "learning
tool" is called
Bonding. This textured and elegant demonstration is brought to us by
the
Department of Chemistry at Iowa
State University. |

With this "learning tool" students can
learn to use the
Element Builder. One of the most innovative science education
companies is
Explorelearning.com, they call their simulations, Gizmos. They are a
subscription site ,
but they allow you to see this Gizmo for 5 minutes.
Shockwave is required. |

With this "learning tool" you can see
how the volume of a container of gas is affected by changes in number of
gas particles, velocity, and atmospheric pressure. The name is
Molecular
Model for an Ideal Gas and comes to us from H Wang. This is a java
applet. |

This simple and elegant learning tool is
called
Boyle's Law. Just press your space bar and drag the plunger to see
the relationship between volume and pressure. The interactive creates a
data table automatically and students can choose to test air, hydrogen,
helium, or oxygen. This fun interactive was created by
Thomas Greenbowe
at Iowa State University. |
