Here are a few of the many websites online which have
something to offer Key Stage 3 and 4 chemistry
students.
If you know of any resources that ought to be here, let us know
using the form here or on our Facebook
page.
1. Learn
Chemistry
The Rolls Royce of UK chemistry
education websites, bought to you by the Royal Society of
Chemistry
The website has facts, quizzes and
presentations about everything from food
science to chemistry in
sport.
Check out the video below about how
biosensors are used to help athletes to train:
2. Doc Brown: Chemistry Quizzes
Doc Brown's website has loads of
quizzes on every subject for KS3 and KS4 - the design of the
quizzes is very simple, so they work on even the slowest
computers.
3. The Photographic Periodic
Table
A great resource to help students to
visualise the elements and find all the technical data about each
one. (The site does contain lots of links to paid chemistry
resources, but is well worth a look).
4. Delights of Chemistry - Leeds
University
An oldie but a goldie - this site from
the Chemistry Department of the University of Leeds has animations,
photos and information about 40 different experiments for you to
view. Check out the chemoluminescent rainbow and explosive
cryogenically frozen cracker below.
5. American Chemical
Society
A while ago we highlighted the
American Chemical Society's website full of school resources, and
it's well worth a look. Click here to find out
more.
6. Periodic
Table:
A little bit
basic in terms of gameplay, but this site covers everything from
learning the names of some of the most well known elements to
identifying actinoids and rare earth metals...
A really
detailed guide to the periodic table and all the elements. The site
includes guides to electronegativity, geology, compounds and more
for every element in the table. Everything a KS3 chemist
needs!
6. Planet Science, of course!
We couldn't not mention our own crazy collection of
chaotic chemistry resources, experiments and articles - check them
out below...
