Secondary chemical education is not an easy topic to put your finger.  The reason for this is the wide range of what might be taught about chemistry in a typical high school.  Classes could range from Chemistry in the community to Advanced Placement Chemistry.  With this in mind, I have tried to gather information both from the internet and from the library which takes into account the very basics of chemistry as well as more advanced topics.  The information contained on this page is intended to be useful to both the teacher and the student of chemistry.  Below are links to various sites on the internet, some of which contain many other links to pages that are useful.  Also, library sources from the library at Morehead State University have been gathered and I have given you the information needed to find these books, including the call number for the MSU library.  I hope you find this page useful and remember that chemistry can be fun!
