This letter was written in 1796. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=757815 Short (<1 min.) GIF format videos of interesting (read: violent) chemical reactions, often involving things that catch fire or blow up. Users can also submit GIFs of their own chemical reactions. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=755514 This Stand alone Instructional Resource (StAIR) is designed for 8th grade chemistry students to familiarize them with the concepts of straight, branched, and ring shaped carbon bonds.It is an interactive kiosk. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=744581 Many educational concepts are easier to understand when illustrated with vivid examples. This film explores methods for creating illustrations for educational presentations, videos, and printed materials. From the 2013 Innovations in Teaching and Learning Conference at Kansas State University.

Adjust a range of experimental parameters and see their affect on chromatographic parameters including retention time, column efficiency, and backpressure. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=739685 This is a site with tools for teachers or students of high school chemistry or biology. It may even be appropriate for students taking first year chemistry at the college level. It includes study tools such as powerpoints and practice and review material. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=738135 'Did you ever wonder why the periodic table is shaped the way it is, what gives each element its own unique set of properties, or even how elements combine to make everyday objects such as a cup of coffee? With “NOVA Elements,” explore an interactive periodic table, play a game hosted by David Pogue, or watch the two-hour NOVA program, “Hunting the Elements.”'This is a free app
