Dixon from Scandinavian Middle School.*On the Science Spot website go to Kid Zone,Then choose Chemistry Links.* Students become familiar with the Periodic Table and its uses. Each student is given an element to research on the Internet. They become more familiar with computers and how to research information on the Internet. They also get a chance to be createive in designing a poster for their element. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=78795 ChemSense is an NSF-funded project to study students' understanding of chemistry and develop software and curriculum to help students investigate chemical systems and express their ideas in animated chemical notation. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=584391 CSB Safety Video detailing three accidents at the Dupont facility in Belle, West Virginia. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=384312 Video animation about the chemistry of oxygen. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=379162 A Flash learning object of Stoichiometry of a Gas Phase Reaction that shows different ratios of iodine and chlorine mixing to form a reation of iodine trichloride. The learner can mix the different ratios in a beaker and see their reactions. Formulas are included. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=514059 This site includes a video that is presented as part of the Annenberg Foundation series on "The World of Chemistry.״ It provides a good overview of the structure and role of the proteins as well as the central dogma of molecular biology, DNA ==> RNA ==> Protein. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=514066 This site provides videos that introduce users to the world of chemistry. Some of the topics include: The Atom, The Periodic Table, Chemical Bonds, and Protein Structure and Function. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=522998 This resource describes how elements are built from protons, neutrons, and electrons. Animations and movies effectively show how like charges repel and opposites attract; how electrons orbit around protons, and the role neutrons play in helping protons stay together in the nucleus of the atom. The resource goes on to describe how atoms can build in different ways (akin to building blocks) to create materials that differ in properties.
