Chemical Education Resources List

Welcome to Netscape
R.H. Logan's Home Page: This is a source of Distance Learning, Chemical Education, and general education links on the Net. A biographical sketch is also provided of the author.
Martindale's: Chemistry: This Web site has a four star rating from Megellen and it is among the top 5% most visited Web sites. Not shabby for an undergraduate and graduate Chhemistry Center. MSDS sheets, reports, chemicals, databases of every major discipline in Chemistry are available. Course materials are found here so Teachers will be interested. Check it out!!
History of Elements: Need some reference material on the history of an element? Then you have come to the right Web site. This site is maintained by those jolly fellows from Los Alamos (watch out for the fallout!!). The periodic table hyperlinked gives you one or two paragraphs on each element. The National Labs have other interesting things here so do yourself a favor and explore it!!
Properties of elements: An impressive periodic table completely hyper linked will greet you as you enter this site. Click on an element's symbol and you have a brief list of the common properties for that element.
NMR Periodic Table: If you are looking for NMR reference materials including frequency and magnetic strength constants for the elements, then this site will answer your questions in spades!
Chronology of the Element: Want to know more about where an element was discovered? This site gives a paragraph or two on each element. A good source for a Chemistry assignment.
Elements: This site is one of my own options accessable through my personal home page which includes a hictory and properties of each element represented.
WebElement links to Gen info: This represents only general properties for each element. there are 8 or 9 other more detailed categories of properties on each element at this site.
Organic Chemistry: Another option from my own Home Page involving Organic matters.
Chemical Safety: Have a concern over hazardous materials? Like to satisfy the people at OSHA? This site deals with safety techniques and how to present them to your students in lab as well as info and databases on hazardous chemicals

ChemSource: ChemSource is a collection of self contained single concept modules complete with the experimantal activities to illustrate the concept. There are only two hyper linked modules available at this site, acids/bases, and chemical bonding, but others will undoubtedly follow. The two modules that are available are quite impressive and very complete.

Web Construction For Novices: This is the table of contents of a series of pages that summarize some of the basics of Web Page construction using HyperText Markup Language (HTML). This is another example of the educational value that the Web sites offer to students and teachers alike.
Basic Math Concepts -Table Of Contents: Another example of how learning can be enhanced on-line in the World Wide Web. This is the table of contents of a series of short lessons on Basic Math concepts important to Chemistry students. I refer my students to this site if they have trouble understanding what is covered in the first week of class.
General Chemistry Notes-1: This site is under very heavy construction so only about two options are available, but it is being worked upon so be patient and it will happen. Again this is an example of how concepts in a Chemistry class can be stored for any students in class to review. Its like having a set of virtual cyberspace notes for the class at your very fingertips!!
Searchable Databases: This is a part of my Web Page complex that allows a search on virtually any topic under the sun. Some of these databases are quite good and very fast. I always recommend to a student to search first before surfing the Net. It is the best use of time and effort. Most lists that are generated by a search are hyperlinked.
Outline for 2YC3 Conference Presentation: This is an online hyper linked version of an outline on a presentation that will be given by this author in March at New Orleans. The assignment has broadened the perspectives of the Chemistry students considerable and helped to usher them into the Twenty-First Century and cyberspace research.
