ONLINE INSTRUCTIONAL RESOURCES AND SIMULATIONS
FOR HIGH SCHOOL CHEMISTRY

Analytic Chemistry
  • Online Analytical Chemistry Jeopardy Game (no longer accessible but zip file is still available) - Higher level chem game for possible AP Student Use (Click on the link above, and you'll be taken to a JavaScript-based Web page
    containing an Analytical Chemistry Jeopardy game.)  In addition, you can download the entire set of files so that you can modify them to match the content of your own course.  The zip file also contains the rendition of a key in both Word and PDF form, which has not been placed on the Web.  Analytical Jeopardy.zip    (still available)

  • Separating Mixtures - "The Poisoned Needle" - How techniques for separating mixtures helped solve a deadly mystery

Atomic Structure


Bonding

  • Polarity Activities with Molecular Models

  • VSEPR - Just used this website for VSEPR.  Very Cool!!  (Except the column headings are a bit misleading - e- pairs should be steric number because if you have a double bond it only counts as 1 for VSEPR.)


Compound Formulas and Nomenclature


Elements and Compounds
Electron Configurations
  • Electron Configuration Animation Online 
    Posted on the ChemEd-L by Doris R. Kimbrough of the University of Colorado at Denver.
    An Electron Configuration animation from the Okalahoma State University. 
    When you click on the screen, electron arrows are added to the energy level orbital diagram, 
    the element's identification changes and the visual obeys Hund's Rule.
  • Patterns in Electron Configurations

Entropy
Equation Balancing
Graphing
Gas Laws
  • The Piston - Ideal Gas Law In this series of experiments, you will control the action of a piston in a pressure chamber which is filled with an ideal gas. This experiment is set up so that changes in the state of the gas, e.g. its Temperature, Volume and Pressure, are automatically recorded on the graphical tool.
