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

Wikipedia portal

You probably know about Wikipedia and also about the need to be careful with the accuracy of the content, though I've been happy with most of what I've seen in chemistry areas. But have you and your students come across 'portals' in Wikipedia? Designed similar to the Wikipedia home page, portals aim to help readers navigate their way through Wikipedia content by acting as entry-points to specific topic areas.

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".
