http://www.bbc.co.uk/schools/gcsebitesize/chemistry/
Though this site does not cover IGCSE chemistry, it is still a useful secondary source of revision for students.
http://www.gcsechemistry.com/
This is another comprehensive site, useful for revision purposes or for note taking. The adverts are distracting though, and take up so much visual display.
http://www.s-cool.co.uk/gcse/chemistry
A useful revision site for students, especially to recap all the basics.
http://www.docbrown.info/
Doc Brown’s comprehensive site of notes and revision material. The interactive quizzes with instant marking and explanations make this site worth returning to, again and again.
http://www.chemguide.co.uk/index.html#top
A UK-based site, with specific content on CAIE Chemistry for students and teachers alike.
http://www.chalkbored.com/lessons/chemistry-11.htm
A US-based site, but it contains useful information, including power points that can be used by students and teachers.
teachercavalcade.wordpress.com
Another US-based site, this might have useful content, and it’s free.
http://www.newyorkscienceteacher.com/sci/pages/miscon/refs.php
This site is a good resource to access for common misconceptions in science.
http://www.adaptivecurriculum.com/us/
A subscription-based site, this is a good resource for virtual labs. The student works through the interactive lessons, and can ‘use’ lab equipment, take assessment tests, make notes and so on. The high school curriculum is being updated and improved all the time.
http://www.nuffieldfoundation.org/practical-chemistry
Aimed at teachers, this site has plenty of experiments, worksheets and lesson plans. Well worth a look.
http://www.schoolscience.co.uk/
This is quite a fun site, with lots of resources for teachers and students to show the application of science.
http://www.khanacademy.org/
This is a really comprehensive site, mainly for maths and science. Geared at students of all ages, it is a wonderful site for self-paced learning. Teachers can use the site for lesson planning or to supplement what they are doing. It’s also fun to earn badges for completion of skill levels.
http://www.rsc.org/
There are numerous resources here for teachers and students. The periodic table is a quick reference tool, as hovering over any element gives various statistics.
http://www.world-nuclear.org/education/uran.htm
Nuclear energy information website, including where nuclear power reactors are found in the world.
http://www.open.edu/openlearn/science-maths-technology/science/chemistry
The Open University has some really interesting videos on a variety of subjects, including Chemistry. Have a look at some of these, and if you want to see elements reacting with water in an explosive way, go to this chemistry link (I particularly the end of the video) http://www.open.edu/openlearn/science-maths-technology/science/chemistry/alkali-metals
