Organic Chemistry Practice Problems
Though the site is not very visually appealing, it contains a relatively large database of practice questions for Organic Chemistry.
Molview – Chemistry Modelling
MolView is an open-source, intuitive web-application to make chemistry and biology. This application consists of two main parts, a structural formula editor and a 3D model viewer. User can employ 2D to 3D button to convert a molecule into a 3D model which is then displayed in the viewer.
This site works beautifully on Chromebooks!
Noteflight Learn
Noteflight is a robust application for music teachers. They do offer a free trial, but in order to access this, you must contact the company. Their product prices in at approximately $7 per student, and membership allows the teacher to organize classes, create assignment and gives access to a library of musical scores and lessons. Their site specifically states that their application works on Chromebooks.
Their privacy policy is suitable for use in Canada. They state “The only identifying information collected is on the teacher and the school. All students are assigned unique usernames by the teacher; therefore Noteflight does not collect any personal information on students.” This means that teachers can enter students using false (game) names. An easy way to do this is to use the student’s first name and make their last name your school or town name. For example: Jayden Delburne or Laura Beacon.
Gamestar Mechanic
Gamestar Mechanic is an online application to allow people to build a digital game. It also teaches students how to build a game in their application through the playing of a game. The exclusive educational package is priced at $2 per student.
Teachers using this utility can register their students using a false name (I prefer the term game name). When I was teaching, I used the student’s first name, and then a portion of my school’s name for the last name (all my students had the same last name). The only reason Gamestar even asks for names is to assist the teacher in tracking their students within the tracking features.
Examples of names could be Aidan Grandview or Tessa Fox.
Curious George STEM
Using a well-known character from a series of children’s books, PBS has created a fantastic set of lessons to spark curiosity in young learners. The lessons in Curious George STEM include measuring, building and simple machines. Students are asked to think critically, predict outcomes, share observations and formulate theories to build the habits of mind that lead to academic success.
Physics Calculators
Omni Calculator offers a host of calculators for all types of calculations, but their selection of physics calculators is particularly impressive.
Interactive Chemistry Review Activities
Science Geek has a large file of Chemistry Review activities, and they are converting them to html5 (which means Chromebook compatible). Many of their interactive resources are already Chromeboook ready.
