Introduction to Chemical Compounds
It's Elemental -
Balancing Act - The computer will give you a number of
incomplete chemical equations. Balance the chemical equations by selecting
coefficients from the pull-down menus.
Introduction to Chemical
Reactions
The Structure Behind
Chemical Behaviour
Mr. Gulch Explains
- the sections on Acids & Bases, Ionic Compounds, and Covalent
Compounds are most relevant
The pH Factor -
Everything you wanted to know about pH!
Ionic Compound Construction Kit - Build an ionic compound
formula, using elemental or polyatomic ions. You'll use an ion balance to find
an electrically neutral combination of ions. The formula for the compound is
written step by step from the formulas for the ions.
Chemical Equation Construction Kit Build balanced chemical
equations from word descriptions of chemical reactions. The formulas, reactions,
and word descriptions are randomly generated- hundreds of reactions are
possible.

1-D
Kinematics - 6 lessons - The motion of objects in
one-dimension is described using words, diagrams, numbers, graphs, and
equations.
1-D Kinematics "multimedia" - animations to accompany the
lessons from the above web site
Vectors - Motion and Forces in Two Dimensions - Vector
principles and operations are introduced and combined with kinematic principles
and Newton's laws to describe, explain and analyze the motion of objects in two
dimensions.
Motion with
Constant Acceleration - a Java applet - you can vary the
values of initial position, initial velocity and acceleration Three diagrams
illustrate the motion of the vehicle: Position x versus time t, Velocity v
versus time t, and Acceleration a versus time t
Resultant of
Forces (Addition of Vectors) - a Java applet
Forces and Motion - from BBC Schools
Fear of Physics
- "Physics. Explained. Finally." Includes Visual Physics Links to see Physics
explained using computer graphics and animations, a Physics Dictionary and a
Physics homework help section.
