A module that provides the definition of chemical property and examples of the chemical properties of matter using explanations, pictures, and review questions.

Contains a profile of Ms. Gloria Chaw, a process engineer at Chevron Research & Technology Company in Richmond, California. Presents a video interview and written transcripts of portions of the interview.

The purpose of this tutorial is to introduce you to some of the chemical concepts which are necessary to understand biology. Concepts include the basics for understanding biology, chemical bonds and attractive forces, the chemistry of...

A chemistry lab where students investigate limiting reagents and balanced chemical equations. A simple experiment that gives students a physical example of what limiting reactant means.

Students learn that fats found in the foods we eat are not all the same; they discover that physical properties of materials are related to their chemical structures. Provided with several samples of commonly used fats with different...

This page provides links to safety data sheets on hazardous chemicals and micro-organisms that might be used in a laboratory or workplace environment.

This unit covers introductory concepts of mixtures and solutions. Students think about how mixtures and solutions, and atoms and molecules can influence new technologies developed by engineers. The first lesson explores the fundamentals...

Explains different kinds of energy, covering kinetic, potential, gravitational, mechanical, sound, thermal, chemical, electrical, and radiant energy. Also looks at storage, transfer, and dissipation of energy. Includes a short...

Students study the physical properties of different fluids and investigate the relationship between the viscosities of liquid and how fast they flow through a confined area. Student groups conduct a brief experiment in which they...

An online quiz with nine questions about the chemistry of the human body and of other life. Has ads, which may be distracting.

This is a picture of the periodic table of chemical elements, an important set of information for anyone learning about chemistry. Elements such as hydrogen, carbon, oxygen, sodium, iron and gold are listed using their chemical symbols...

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] In this online tutorial students will define a mixture and understand why mixtures are different than pure substances. They will classify mixtures as homogeneous or...

Students work as engineers to learn about the properties of molecules and how they move in 3D space through the use of LEGO MINDSTORMS NXT robotics. They design and build molecular models and use different robotic sensors to control the...

This is part of a small radio show at the University of Houston. It talks about how John Dalton came up with his version of chemical notation, and how it differs from our version of it today. It is available in audio form also.

What makes the Earth unique? What are the different parts of the Earth? What is the chemical make-up of the Earth? Get the answers to these questions and more on this site from the Australian Museum Online.

Explains the composition of natural gas and what is required to make it market-ready, types of reservoirs, and what happens in a natural gas processing plant. Includes a diagram showing the whole process. (Published: September 12, 2011)

A site containing a good deal of elemental information. Information on each element includes atomic number, atomic mass, melting point, boiling point, density, isotopes and more.

In this experiment, students will design and carry out a sequence of chemical reactions for the separation and identification of three metal cations from six unknown samples.

Students investigate how to build and launch a simple rocket that uses hydrogen and oxygen gases that will be mixed to propel the rocket. Students learn the principles of combustion reactions, kinetics, stoichiometry of reactions,...

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Looks at mechanical and chemical weathering, agents of weathering, and gives examples of each type of weathering.

Presents a profile of Mr. William Huang, a process engineer for Fluor Daniel Inc, located in Sugar Land, Texas. Includes the transcript from a video interview with Mr. Huang, covering time management skills, job responsibilities, and...
