Salman Khan of Khan Academy has created exceptional videos for k-12 education. Not restricted to any one syllabus, the virtual library is available to students from across the globe, 24x7, FREE. With just a computer and a pen-tablet-mouse, he has created over a 1000 videos which are being used by students who can understand subject topics from Math and Science. Interestingly presented in conversational style, this non profit organization is set to be every academically challenged student's best friend. These videos can be accessed @ the khanacademy channel on youtube or khanacademy.org.  Salman Khan and his website have been conferred with the 2009 Tech Award In Education. Below is a sample of his video on Binomial Theorem.

CHEMISTRY LEARNING MADE FUN THRU' SONG & VIDEO

Organic chemistry or analytical chemistry or simply the basic chemistry can be made super fun for college or school students by use of educational videos. But, sometimes,it is even more interesting to see the important aspects committed to memory by the addition of a jingle or a song made up as well. Oh, students and teachers will love these and certainly all students will be guaranteed to score A+. Below, is an organic chemistry favourite. Youtube has several of these chemistry videos which chemistry students will find useful.

HOW TO UNDERSTAND THE PERIODIC TABLE

Chemistry Students often find the understanding of the periodic table easier once they are taught the fundamentals right. Several websites teach the periodic table in various ways. Ptable is another such website, displaying the periodic table, which highlights the elements in different colours, effectively engaging the student. The detailed graphical representation makes it interesting, and clicking on an element will bring up photos,videos and even related content from Wikipedia. A Pdf or Png of the Periodic table can also be downloaded for study.
Students have benefited from the easier methods to learn about the periodic table. I find my previous posts on the periodic table being read more often. Here are some of them: The Periodic Table

CHEMISTRY DIAGRAMS ONLINE

Chemistry is a subject where diagrams are essentially accompanied by a lecture from the teacher. Students often need a second explanation and when teaching online or in the classroom it is necessary to have good,clear diagrams that are neatly labelled at hand. One website particularly useful with more than 400 diagrams and animations to be used for chemistry is the one above I found on Twitter.

PERIODIC TABLE REALLY EASY

Chemistry is interesting to students when they have a great teacher to explain.The periodic table in particular,always needs explicit explanation for a student to retain it in memory.Many students have written to me asking for easier ways of learning the periodic table,especially if they have missed the class.My earlier posts,The Periodic Table-More Ways To Learn and The Periodic Table are popular among the students and teachers.Videos made differently to suit each one,so take your pick and learn so as to be able to teach another.This strategy worked very well with my students.They learnt, but they become more perfect when they are given he chance to teach the rest of the class or another student that needs explanation.Here is a new video I found on teachertube.

HOW TO BALANCE A CHEMICAL EQUATION?

Balancing equations in chemistry is easy if you follow the guidelines. It denotes what happens in a chemical reaction.But, some students take time at it. Here are some step by step instructions. Students must take time to practice balancing of chemical equations. Worksheets and answer sheets are provided at the end of the example given in this website.
Find resources for all things chemistry at this website which even gives you science fair projects and homework help in addition to practice problems.
If yo u want to practice laboratory experiments at home, you can sign up free at the virtual lab.

THE PERIODIC TABLE-MORE WAYS TO LEARN

My recent post on the periodic table and the listed websites from which to understand and learn has generated many comments.
