Chemistry software specially written for hard pressed teachers! Interactive Windows chemistry teaching software specially designed for whole class use in schools. Teaches about word equations, atoms, chemical elements, symbols, chemical formulas, the Periodic Table, atomic structure, the formation of ions and writing and balancing chemical equations. At last, independent, structured learning of difficult Chemistry topics. The latest version is for Windows 95/98/ME/XP/NT4 and 2000 (including networks), but a version for Win 3.1 is still available. Free to download and try. Stop Press! Version 4.0 now available. With many improved features. Use it with a whole class when you can book the computer room!

A companion program for 'Atoms, Symbols and Equations'. With a top ***** rating from ZDNet More great Chemistry software for Windows. In the same style and aimed at the same audience, topics include: Chemical elements, compounds and mixtures; atomic structure; ionic bonding; covalent bonding; structure of materials and bond Energies. Pupils can view, on screen, the electron transfers in dozens of ionic compounds and the electron sharing in 12 common covalent compounds. The latest version is for Windows 95/98/ME/XP/NT4 and 2000 (including networks), but a version for Win 3.1 is still available. Free to download and try.

Rasmol
Molecular Viewer Rasmol is FREE molecular modelling software for Windows. It is particularly good at viewing and rotating protein molecules at speed, although it can also be used with smaller molecules. I use Rasmol with Years 7 to13 (UK); Grades 6-12 in the US.

Lesson Links Ready made lessons to incorporate the internet into your teaching. |
Science WebQuests - Internet Projects The internet is a great resource, but how can Science teachers use it effectively? Browse the web for hours/days/weeks for those great sites? Why do we always want to reinvent the wheel? Someone, somewhere has been there and done it. |
| Other
useful Chemistry/Science links for students and teachers |
Why not try a Science WebQuest with one of your classes? There are many ready made webquests online, made by teachers all over the world ready for use by teachers everywhere. The hard work of designing an activity and finding suitable weblinks has already been done (they can even be edited to suit your particular needs - see the Acid Rain WebQuest). |
Interested in linking with other schools around the world? The Science Across the World project, sponsored by BP Amoco must be the easiest way - with resources available in 6 languages!
A variety of topic areas are available, including 'What do you Eat', 'Acid Rain', 'Energy in the Home' and many more. The selected unit is investigated your students, and their results shared with other schools around the world, studying the same topic. There are over 1000 participating schools, from across Europe, Australasia, Africa, Asia and North and South America.
Great for enhancing the learning of a foreign language or multicultural awareness through science.
Aimed at 14 - 18 year olds.
