The Absegami AP Chemistry Page



A World of Information

I've done my best to sort through the muck of chemistry sites to provide you with a list and descriptions of pages that would be most useful to a high school student. A number of these pages will undoubtedly link to one another. There's a strong chemistry community out there. This list is continuously updated. If, however, you want more, check the Science: Chemistry directory of Yahoo!. If you like this page, please sign our guestbook. If you have suggestions, please feel free to submit them!

ChemTeam
As the site itself says, "The ChemTeam's goal is to provide study resources for students in high school and Advanced Placement chemistry." The page has lots of information and loads really fast, but a very large number of the links aren't finished yet. ChemTeam is probably most useful, however, because it provides AP exams dating back to the 1970s. Definitely check out this page when you're practicing.

Steve Marsden's Chemistry Home Page
This site has links to a plethora of chemistry information. Click on "Lecture Hall" to gain access to a wealth of knowledge. You'll also find a periodic table with links to other tables, and information on the TI-82/83 and using TI's CBL (Calculator-Based Laboratory). This site's greatest asset, though, is the Chemistry Q&A Message Board (click on "Chem Q&A"). While he doesn't promise quick replies, it is a good place to find answers to your burning chemistry questions and to discuss chemistry topics.

CHEMystery: An Interactive Guide to Chemistry
With forums, VRML molecule renderings, and audio accompaniments to lessons, CHEMystery is one of the absolute best chemistry information sites on the web. The site is organized like a textbook, making it easy to locate topics. Definitely recommended.

The Pictorial Periodic Table
There are a lot of periodic tables on the web. So many, in fact, that I couldn't visit every single one. This site, however, seems to be as good as they get. Clicking on an element will provide you with an incredible amount of information, including isotopes, uses of the element, and even the history of the element's discovery. You'll also find alternate forms of the periodic table, which are really neat to look at. Other features include the ability to search for elements, the ability to graph and chart properties, and a number of admittedly fun activities like an element quiz and random element selector. If you can't tell, I like this page. Links are provided to dozens of other periodic tables, so in the unlikely event that you can't find what you're looking for here, you can go elsewhere.

Web Resources to Accompany the Textbook: Fundamentals of Chemistry
This site was recommended to me by a visitor to this site (a teacher). It is an excellent site that provides numerous links to pages that provide detailed chemistry information, much of which is written by college professors. Arranged by chapters, it's tailored to accompany a particular textbook. That doesn't matter, however, because the information is very useful, explaining things from setting up a buret to the complexities of the VSEPR model.

High School Chemistry 250+ Links by Samuel E. Wenger
This site is absolutely incredible. Information on every topic you can think of is found here. I'm certain that some of the links I provided here are on his page. Mr. Wenger's page is a true testament to the huge amount of information available on the web and puts this links page to shame.
