Interactive Periodic Table of Elements

High school Chemistry would have been so much easier if I would have had this tool in front of me!  ptable.com offers a great interactive Periodic Table of Elements.  Click on any of the elements and it will give you a complete description of what the element is and how it is used.  Not sure what the Alkali Metals are just hover over the Alkali Metals tab and ptable.com will highlight all of the metals for you to quickly view. This is a great resource that not only teachers can use within their classroom but also a great study tool for students as well.

Study Jams

If you are looking for something to liven up your classroom you will have to check out Study Jams.  Study Jams is a website that is built around the Math and Science subjects.  It has animated videos that explain a several topics of Math and Science.  There is also the karaoke section which provides songs that help the students remember the steps to many problems.  You can start the video and have your students sing along.  One of the nicest parts of Study Jams is the step through process on the Math section.  This takes math problems and shows the students step by step how to complete them.  All of the lessons are animated and all of them contain quizzes that you can use to help evaluate how your students are doing.  When you get a chance check out Study Jams!!
