Great Web Sites for Kids - ALA
ChemWebOnline = K - 12
- the chemistry site which does it all
- if you are taking any Chemistry class, high school chemistry, A.P.
level chemistry, or even college level chemistry, you will find
this site to be an informative study helper
- created where chemistry can be experienced
- In order to make browsing easier, we have created three distinct
levels for browsing this web site. They are:
* 1) full blown graphics
* 2) mid-range graphics, and
* 3) text only
- We realize that the world (unfortunately) does not have an ISDN
connection for everyone, so we decided that this would make it easier
on everyone
- this page is written for Netscape web broswers, although it should
be accessible to those with Microsoft Internet Explorer, or Mosaic
- so get ready to enter...ChemWeb Online
Proton Don = K - 12
- "In this interactive Periodic Table quiz, students are presented
with a copy of the Table and asked to identify various elements

motivational."
Chemistry Drill and Practice Tutorials = K - 12
- "Online interactive chemistry problems here are divided into
drill and practice, and word problems
the wide range of topics provides a comprehensive tutorial environment
for chemistry students
- the tutorials begin with matter and measurement, elements and atoms,
and move to more advanced topics
The IrYdium Project = K - 12
