AP Chemistry
Mr. Green's AP Chemistry Web Site
Mr. Green, an AP Chemistry teacher from California, has produced a wonderful web site for his students. He has also decided to make his site available to the entire world! 

Adrian Dingle's Chemistry Pages
An excellent collection of resources brought to you by an AP Chemistry teacher from Georgia.

General Chemistry Online
An excellent resource for teachers and students of AP Chemistry.

The Chem Team
The ChemTeam provides study resources in all standard topics for students in high school and Advanced Placement chemistry.

Neil Rapp's 'ChemistryGeek' Website
An excellent resource for teachers and students of AP Chemistry.
 

General Chemistry
General Chemistry Online from Frostburg University
Search a library of over 800 compounds, formulas, and structures. Also find tutorials, quizzes, FAQ, and an exam survival guide.

The Virtual Library: Chemistry
This site is a plethora of links to academic institutions, organizations, special projects and other WWW Chemistry resources.

Life, the Universe and the Electron

A wonderful site that was built by the London (UK) Science Museum in 1997 to celebrate the centenary of the discovery of the electron.

Chemistry Index / Chemie-Index
A collection of links to a wide variety of searchable databases. These in include indexes of chemical names, fundamental physical constants, SI units, and convesion factors. A link to an amino acid database supplies information on symbols, molecular weight, CAS registry numbers, and a diagram of the molecular structure. Another database can be searched for abbreviations of chemical compounds.

College Physics for Students of Biology and Chemistry
"This is a hypertextbook written for first-year undergraduate physics students. It assumes that you have a working knowledge of algebra, that you are currently taking or have taken a college level course in Biology and one in Chemistry, and that you are interested in biology, chemistry or one of the health-related fields." Problem sets are included. Includes a table of contents and an index.

Table of the Nuclides
"A clickable chart presenting all known nuclides."

Periodic Table Toolbox
"This feature allows you to add different elements together to make a custom compound, which will be displayed with accompanying information such as Atomic Mass and Charge." This site requires Internet Explorer 3.0 or Netscape Navigator 2.0 or higher.

PSIgate: Physical Sciences Information Gateway
"PSIgate aims to provide high quality Internet resources for students, researchers and practitioners in the physical sciences, specifically in: astronomy, chemistry, earth sciences, physics, and science history and policy. Along with the other hubs that make up the RDN, PSIgate provides an online database of relevant, high quality Internet resources, the Internet Resource Catalogue (IRC). Each resource has been selected by information professionals and subject specialists to ensure relevance and quality. A full description of each resource is provided, together with direct access to the resource itself."

High School Chemistry
Chemistry resources for high school students. Sections include: Introduction to Chemistry; Periodic Tables; Molecular Structures; Chemical References; Questions, Quizzes, Exam Prep; and Laboratory Experiments. Also has other fun and interesting sites and interactive flash cards games (good for practicing for tests) for matching chemical element symbols, ions, and chemical names.

Chemistry Tests and Examinations
General Chemistry Online
Links to an excellent collection General Chemistry tests and examinations.
Elements and The Periodic Table
WebElements Periodic Table
Arguably, this is the première website pertaining to the Periodic Table of Elements.

Chemical Elements.com
"An Online, Interactive, Periodic Table of Elements". Excellent resource!
PHYSICS RESOURCES

Zona Land
In Edward Zobel's Zona Land, "you will find educational and entertaining items pertaining to physics, to the mathematical sciences, and to mathematics in general." The site uses Java programming, Ray Tracing and VRML (a virtual reality language) to provide tools and lessons that help students for students grasp major concepts in algebra, geometry, and physics.

PSIgate: Physical Sciences Information Gateway
"PSIgate aims to provide high quality Internet resources for students, researchers and practitioners in the physical sciences, specifically in: astronomy, chemistry, earth sciences, physics, and science history and policy.

The Physics Classroom
The Physics Classroom is an online physics tutorial written for high school physics students. Through individual lessons and accompanying quizzes, this very informative site includes a physics tutorial that covers everything from Newton's Laws to Refraction. The Multimedia Physics Studio portion of the site gives excellent animations and movies that allow students to reinforce their learning by visualizing what is being discussed.

QuarkNet
QuarkNet brings high school students and teachers to the frontier of 21st century research that seeks to resolve some of the mysteries about the structure of matter and the fundamental forces of nature.
