I hit "post" too soon! Here's a link to approximately 30 FREE chemistry resources for teachers. Freeebies range from ipad apps to free periodic tables to free ebooks and more. Enjoy! http://free.ed.gov/subjects.cfm?subject_id=57&res_feature_request=1

Kendra, Thank you for the website of free things for chemistry teachers. It also has thousands of free things in all subject areas!! http://free.ed.gov/

The American Chemical Society is an outstanding resource. http://portal.acs.org/portal/acs/corg/content?_nfpb=true&_pageLabel=PP_SUPERARTICLE&node_id=180&use_sec=false&sec_url_var=region1&__uuid=009e9d0e-5e4f-4ee4-86fa-c9f00c19eeca I just love Inquiry in action and you can download the book free http://www.inquiryinaction.org/ When I needed materials, I called the ACS and received free samples. These folks are awesome

Thank you for the link to the free book. What a find!! It has so many great experiments for all grades!! I am sharing it on a private forum that serves about 2000 teachers!

Thank you Pamela, Betty, and Kendra for the great resources. These resources will help to bring my students back to appreciating science. The only time my students love science is if they are doing experiments. This will help tremendously.

You're welcome, James! Be sure to come back and let us know what activities you used and how it went. I truly think that sharing our experiences is the absolute best part of these discussion boards!

Thanks for the information about discovery magazine. We like to leave reading material on the student's tables so students can look through them if they are done with their work early. This is a resource I will be able to use.
