Chemistry Teaching Web Sites

This web site is designed to help chemistry teachers find useful information on the internet. There are a few of the more interesting and helpful sites listed below. This is not even the tip of the iceburg; there is much more information available, it is just a matter of finding it. I hope what I have listed so far is helpful to you. Remember that this site is still under construction!
