ChemCollective (formerly the IrYdium Project)

"The Chemistry Collective is a collection of virtual labs, scenario-based learning activities, and concepts tests which can be incorporated into a variety of teaching approaches as pre-labs, alternatives to textbook homework, and in-class activities for individuals or teams."

Thermochemistry Virtual Lab Problems

Chemistry Case Studies

Case studies of chemical concepts, from Keenesaw State University. Up-to-date, relevant applications of chemistry. A great source for research projects.

Chemistry Comes Alive

"Chemistry Comes Alive! is a series of CD-ROMs published by the Journal of Chemical Education Software . Chemistry truly does come to life through this collection of pictures, animations, and movies depicting chemical reactions and techniques."
