Enrich your chemistry classroom with the Chemistry Educational Digital Library
April 29, 2010
Chemistry is one of those subjects that really can flourish with the addition of multimedia elements, but often requires you to blow the whole budget on supplies and equipment. What you end up with is a state-of-the-art chemistry lab in which you show instructional videos that run on those ancient 8mm projectors talking about the dawn of atomic power.
If this is the case in your neck of the woods, you should check out the Chemistry Educational Digital Library. It’s a great place to find video or other multimedia elements to use in your classroom, as well as find interactive online applications like a java-based three-dimensional molecule diagramming program, an interactive periodic table, and a host of other collections to dig through.
While the layout of the web page isn’t cutting edge, the content is rock solid and ready for use in the classroom, and certainly pertinent to any chemistry classroom activity.
