This extensive website grew from a 470-page book published by the American Chemical Society. It includes practical activities and background material to help chemistry teachers take an inquiry-based approach in their classroom. The book itself can be freely downloaded on the site.

The authors are K–8 teachers, and my first impression is that this is aimed at KS2–KS3 classes. However, the topics are covered in sufficient conceptual depth that some parts may be suitable for GCSE or A-level.
