For each element, a brief history and a brief summary of its chemical properties are available. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=75704 Nice site for learning about water for middle and high school students, primarily. Excellent resource from a government laboratory. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=84002 Flash cards for both AP and general Chemistry. Easy to read and understand format with language that clearly and concisely explains each concept. Great resource for students to reinforce and quickly refresh topics covered in class. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=83232 Flinn Scientific, Inc has always been an outstanding source of safety information for K12 science teachers. Now Flinn is providing this site for teachers to share ideas, find helpful solutions to Frequently Asked Questions, access discipline-specifc resources (including equipment maintenance tips), explore laboratory design, and even access a job placement center. I expect that schools wanting a high quality lab science teacher might come to depend on this Flinn website to find the best teachers. Teachers can sign up to receive Flinn Scientific Safety Notes via email, and over 1300 Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) written specifically for science instructors teaching at a middle school, high school or community college are available. Flinn MSDS meet American Chemistry Council and ANSI standards. A multi-page model Chemical Hygiene Plan which teachers can alter to meet an individual school's needs is also provided. Although this is a legal requirement in 40 states, lab science teachers are generally not paid for this extra work - so Flinn's contributions are of tremendous value! http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=80233 This site has information on atomic structure and bonding, inorganic chemistry, physical chemistry, instrument analysis, basic organic chemistry, and organic reaction mechanisms. There is also a link to Dr. Phil Brown?s website where you can get questions for tests. The site?s information is based on the syllabus for UK students. The site does not have many diagrams or any interactive material. However, the information is detailed and clear. Students in high school and undergraduate general chemistry classes will find it very helpful. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=91392 Nearly 3,000 Biochemistry and Molecular Biology terms are concisely defined in this online version of David Glick's glossary of both common words and lab jargon. Users can search aphabetically or by keyword. Definitions are often one sentence and assume user basic knowledge of the biosciences. A bibliography of additional references is included. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=81823 (From the authors) The Chemical Reactivity Worksheet is a free program you can use to find out about the reactivity of substances or mixtures of substances (reactivity is the tendency of substances to undergo chemical change).It includes * a database of reactivity information for more than 6,000 common hazardous chemicals. The database includes information about the special hazards of each chemical and about whether a chemical reacts with air, water, or other materials. * a way for you to virtually "mix" chemicals to find out what dangers could arise from accidental mixing. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=76490 A collection of 2-D and 3-D diagrams of various metabolic pathways, including glycolysis and Kreb's other carbohydtate pathways and lipid and amino acid pathways. the 3-D images require the Chime plugin and show 3-D models of the intermediates. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=88195 A review and critique the physical science in Middle School (grades 6, 7, and 8, although some schools called Junior High designate grades 7, 8, and 9) science textbooks with regard to the scientific accuracy, adherence to an accurate portrayal of the scientific approach, and the appropriateness and pedagogic effectiveness of the material presented for the particular grade level. The author noted such things as readability, attractiveness, quality of illustrations, and whether material such as laboratory activities, suggested home activities, exercises to test understanding, and resource suggestions where considered appropriate. A copy of the report is available in WORD and ADOBE pdf formats. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=408691 There is something new in the air and that is Green Chemistry. This educational resource website shares green chemistry activities and experiments by grade level appropriatness. Green chemistry can get students thinking about a cleaner environment.
