Miscellaneous Stuff

Math Review: Useful for reviewing the basics!
The Chemicool Periodic Table: Everything you wanted to know about the elements!
Science is Fun! The homepage of Professor Bassam Z. Shakhashiri, a man who shares his love of Chemistry with others - lots of great demonstration ideas!
The T.W.I.N.K.I.E.S. Project For giggles! The scientific investigation of the common Twinkie. T.W.I.N.K.I.E.S. stands for "Tests With Inorganic Noxious Kakes In Extreme Situations."
Reference Site: Martindale's "The Reference Desk: Science Tables & Databases." This site is a part of a more complete website for science education links, supported by UC Irvine.
A FUN On-Line Course: A set of over 1200 lecture slides and 33 animations for a two-semester 8-credit hour General Chemistry course! Good for background. It even includes on-line quizzes. The presentations have been organized to follow the text Chemistry for Today, 2nd Edition by Seager and Slabaugh which is published by West Educational Publishing. Check it out!
The ChemTeam: a great tutorial of high school chemistry - in progress! This site has practice problems and answers.
More on the Theory of Atoms in Molecules.
Bad Science - What is it?
For a SCIENCE break, visit one of the many Science Museums located around the world!
ChemCenter, a service of the American Chemical Society. It is an informative and valuable resource to the worldwide chemical community, students and researchers alike.
The Chemistry Place: This is a great website and is getting better!
Personality Test: A fun, quick Myers-Briggs-like test (the Keirsey Temperament Sorter) to categorize your personality on the basis of 4 different scales:
- Energizing: Extrovert vs. Introvert
- Attending: iNtuitive vs. Sensing
- Deciding: Feeling vs. Thinking
- Living: Judging vs. Perceptive
Short explanations of the 16 resulting types are on the page. An index of more descriptive explanations is found on the home page here. How each of you learn as students can be better understood from this model. I will be asking you sometime this semester to tell me your type (if you care to share). I am an INTJ. Does that fit me?
