There is one web site so comprehensive in its nature that it must be mentioned here. Martindale's The "Virtual" Chemistry Center has links to every imaginable chemistry related site on the internet. Be warned that you could blissfully lose hours of reality browsing this site. For those of you with less time to spare, look below for sites specifically correlated with the state core objectives.

Standard 3620-01: Students will investigate the nature of atoms.

Objectives:

• 3620-0101 Evaluate evidence for particulate nature of matter.
  
  
  • The Learning Matters of Chemistry--Movies and Graphics - Millikan's oil drop experiment, Bohr model and much more. (Some are very large but worth it.)
    
    
• 3620-0102 Correlate the position of elements on the periodic table with their atomic structure.
  
  
  • Web Elements - Periodic Tables--These are excellent!
  • Chemicool Periodic Table--This interactive Periodic Table has detailed information on all elements, with just a click of the button!
  • Periodic TableTris!--Learn the Periodic Table elements with this Tetris-style game. Requires at least Netscape 2.0 and the Shockwave plugin to play.

Standard 3620-02: Students will understand nuclear and quantum phenomena.

Objectives:

• 3620-0201 Explain the need for various models of the atom.
  
  
  • Atomic Structure Timeline--
    
    
• 3620-0202 Gather evidence to explain photon emissions in terms of quantum jumps of electrons.
  
  
• 3620-0203 Explain the production (e.g., mass energy conversion) and effects of nuclear energy.
  • Comparison of Fission and Fusion Processes

Standard 3620-03: Students will investigate and infer physical and chemical properties of substances based on chemical bonding and periodic tendencies.

Objectives:

• 3620-0301 Examine and identify physical and chemical properties of molecules related to bond types.
  
  
  • Chemical Bonding Information--A short text on the basics of chemical bonding.
    
    
• 3620-0302 Use nomenclature schemes to name inorganic compounds.

Standard: 3620-04: Students will investigate chemical reactions.

Objectives:

• 3620-0401 Verify and model the law of conservation of mass in a chemical reaction.
  
  
  • Interactive Tutorial on Balancing Equations by Yue-Ling Wong, Ph. D. (Requires Shockwave). See more of Dr. Wong's projects.
    
    
• 3620-0402 Investigate evidences of energy transformations in a chemical reaction.
  • A Thermometric Titration Lab

Standard 3620-05: Students will determine and quantify regulating factors in chemical systems.

Objectives:

• 3620-0501 Identify variables and predict relative changes in equilibrium of a chemical reaction.
  
  
• 3620-0502 Quantify factors which control the rate of chemical reactions (e.g., temperature, pH, concentration, catalysts) and determine their effects.
  
  
  • Surface Area and Rate of Reaction

Standard 3620-06: Students will apply concepts of concentration to analyze solutions.

Objectives:

• 3620-0601 Determine concentration of solutions and express in units of molarity, percentage concentration (percentage as mass/mass, mass/volume, or volume/volume) and parts per million (ppm, mg/Kg).
  
  
• 3620-0602 Determine and express concentration of a solution in units of pH.
  
  
  • Interactive Titration Simulation--Determine the concentration of a 50.0 mL solution of weak acid, for example, acetic acid, by titration using a 0.100M of NaOH(aq) as titrant. (Requires Shockwave.)
    
    
• 3620-0603Relate concentration to colligative properties of solutions.

Standard 3620-07: Students will use a variety of analytical procedures to answer relevant problems in chemistry.
