Leave it to
adults to take something as exciting and
beautiful as the sky and make it booooooring! |
 Beginning Astronomy To begin
observing the stars or planets, it is helpful to
get an understanding of basics. The pages in this
section can be taken in order to form a course,
but can also be used as a reference. |

How Stuff Works
Just about
anything natural or man made, you have a good
chance of finding out how it works here. |
|
Chem4Kids is
designed for elementary students, covering topics
such as Matter, Atoms, Elements, Reactions, Key
Topics and Mathematics. The cartoonish graphics,
succinct explanations and sound file
pronunciations make it attractive to its target
audience, and its tie-ins to the bigger concepts
(e.g. the periodic table) make it a natural for
teachers looking for new ways to expand on their
instruction. |

Chemistry Functions
Here's a
collection of engines designed to help make
chemistry calculations easier. The molar
conversion engine, for example, allows you to
convert from moles to particles, grams to moles,
and molar mass. The periodic table allows you to
place the cursor over any element and immediately
view the name, symbol atomic number and atomic
mass for the element. And the equation balancer
requires you to simply type in an equation and
click the "Balance" button to get
results. |

photo libraries (more than five hundred images
combines) and streaming chemistry video, all
designed to augment the good work you already do
in the secondary classroom! The animations of
chemical phenomenon are actual video clips from
the Leeds' labs. This site is definitely worth
your time. |
