| From Structures to Properties |  | 1. Carbon is 4Ever You are Secret Agent Bond, Carbon Bond. Your mission is to gather information about carbon and its compounds. There is an introduction to chemistry and four missions you may embark upon. The illustrations are clear and aid in understanding covalent bonds. Each mission has an instructive briefing before starting the activity. As you progress through the missions, you collect code words to be used in the final one, Mission Omega. James Bond fans will get a charge out of the referrals to his movies. A glossary is provided. Your computer must be Java enabled to use the site. http://www.spinaweb.ie/showcase/1124/content/intro.htm
2. Atom Builder The goal of this activity is to construct a carbon atom. You'll start with a hydrogen atom, which contains one proton and one electron. To build other atoms, just add protons, neutrons, and electrons. By the way, you'll need to create each proton and neutron from scratch, using two types of quarks -- up quarks and down quarks. Some friendly advice: Try to keep the atom's overall electrical charge balanced. You'll never complete your atom if you don't. http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/diamond/insidewave.html
3.The Particle Adventure-The Fundamentals of Matter and Force An interactive tour of the structure of the atom, including quarks, neutrinos, antimatter, extra dimensions, dark matter, accelerators, and particle detectors. The initial sections of this tour could be used with a regular chemistry 11 class, with later sections used for enrichment. http://particleadventure.org/particleadventure/
4. WebElements A source of information on the WWW about the periodic table. Includes pictures, downloadable movies in QuickTime or MPEG formats about the discovery of the element, its physical and chemical properties, and compounds that contain this element. http://www.webelements.com/
5. Periodic Table Games An on-line game which tests your knowledge of the periodic table. http://chemistry2.csudh.edu/ptablegames.html

| Organic Chemistry | | 1.Polymer Expeditions: “The Story of Rubber” and “Polymers from the Sea” The purpose of these “expeditions” is to expand the experience of the viewer to include virtual field trips to research and development centers, places where natural polymers are grown and harvested, and industrial locations where synthetic polymers are made and processed ino items we all use every day. http://www.psrc.usm.edu/macrog/exp/index.htm
2. Organic Chemistry Help A series of interactive tutorials and help about organic chemistry. Students can review the relevant material and test themselves with the self grading exercises. Not all of the material is appropriate for Chem 11 but the introductory tutorials look very good. http://www.chemhelper.com/
3. The Poon-Mundy Computer Demonstrations A series of animations designed to help learn organic chemistry. Contains the basics and some information beyond what is required in Chemistry 11. Requires the shockwave plugin. http://www.colby.edu/chemistry/OChem/demoindex.html#table
4. The MHS Polymer Connection Information on polymers, including a PowerPoint presentation. http://www.marlborough.k12.ma.us/schools/mhs/student_web_site/index.html
5 .Polymer Demonstrations This sites provides background information and instructions on a variety of demonstrations involving readily available materials. The demos are sorted according to the grade level of the intended audience, from elementary to college. http://www.psrc.usm.edu/macrog/demos/index.htm
6. Kevlar - The Wonder Material This sites provides information, pictures, and activities which explore Kevlar, and polymers in general http://www.lbl.gov/MicroWorlds/Kevlar/
