Web watch: Tony Tooth looks at some websites that may be of interest to chemistry teachers

ThinkQuest

The CHEMystery site is a good example of websites published in the ThinkQuest online library as a result of the annual competition sponsored by the Oracle Education Foundation. The latter promotes 'a unique project-based learning experience to students and teachers across the globe'. This link is to the chemistry section of the library where there are 61 links to previous entries in the competition. I'll report on some of them in future issues of Web watch but a quick glance reveals rather variable quality content, which is only to be expected for a competition open to students aged 9-19.

Thanks for using Education in Chemistry. You can view one Education in Chemistry article per month as a visitor.

A photograph of a teacher standing in a white lab coat, speaking with a class of children in a laboratory, is superimposed on a colourful background. Text reads "Teach Chemistry means support for classroom and staff room".
