Periodical Table of Videos
http://www.periodicvideos.com/
Tables charting the chemical elements have been around since
the 19th century - but this modern version has a short video
about each one.
One doesn't have to be a Glenn
Seaborg or a Lord Ernest Rutherford to learn about chemistry,
though it probably couldn't help to have some of their curiosity
about the world of chemistry. Young chemists and their teachers
will definitely benefit from this nice resource offered by the
Annenberg Media project. This original video series was produced
by the University of Maryland and the Educational Film Center,
and it consists of 26 half-hour programs. With industrial and
research chemists demonstrating a number of high-intensity
experiments and processes, the series is quite a find. The
installments include such titles as "Modeling the Unseen", "The
Atom", and "The Busy Electron".

The Chemcollective "The Chemistry Collective
is a collection of virtual labs, scenario-based learning activities, and
concepts tests which can be incorporated into a variety of teaching approaches
as pre-labs, alternatives to textbook homework, and in-class activities for
individuals or teams."
ENC Online - Teaching Chemistry K-12 http://www.enc.org/features/focus/archive/chemistry/?ls=eu
Chemistry isn't just for high school. As early as elementary school, students
start observing the properties of different materials, often in hands-on
investigations. Such activities increase in complexity as students advance so
that by high school, they are exploring reactions and constructing their own
questions about the chemical world. This issue of ENC Focus supports teachers of
students in different grades, with specific learning activities and professional
support materials. The introduction provides an overview of which process skills
students need to acquire at different grade levels - for chemistry or any
science topic.
