Miscellaneous

The golden book of chemistry experiments.Probably many of them are not the ones you should try at home without the supervision of an adult; still, it is an amazing resource with a wealth of information if you dream to become a professional chemist some day.

Periodic Table of the Elements.In many different languages and with links to the Wikipedia articles on each one of the chemical elements.

Chemical Reactions

Chemical reactions in Chem4kids.com.A very comprehensive and easy to understand resource meant for pupils in secondary education. Use the links in the top right menu to further along the tutorial.

Structures and bonding.To know that elements combine through chemical reactions to form compounds and that compounds contain different elements that are chemically bonded together. Interactive lesson at Skoool.co.uk.

Reactions of metals with oxygen and water.Learn how different metals react with oxygen and water and know how to name the products and identify patterns in these reactions. Interactive lesson at Skoool.co.uk.

Reactions of metals with acids.Learn that metals react with acid to produce salt and hydrogen and find out how to test for hydrogen gas. After the review, you can try a simulation activity of this type of reactions.

Displacement reactions.Understand why more reactive metals will displace less reactive ones from their compounds. After the review, you can try a simulation activity of this type of reactions. Interactive lesson at Skoool.co.uk.

The reactivity series of metals.Understand how the reactivity series of metals can be determined by considering their reaction with oxygen, water and acid, and learn how to use the reactivity series to make predictions about other reactions. After the review, you can try a simulation activity of this type of reactions. Interactive lesson at Skoool.co.uk.

Acids and alkalis.Learn how to use indicators to classify solutions as acidic, alkaline or neutral. Interactive lesson at Skoool.co.uk.

pH scale.Learn that pH is a measure of the strength of an acid or alkali and how to interpret the colours of universal indicator solution. Interactive lesson at Skoool.co.uk.

What happens when you carbonate water?Learn what an acid is through an experiment with carbonated water and red cabbage.

Acid - base reactions.Understand how different bases react with acids and write word equations for the reactions. Learn how to test for carbon dioxide gas. Interactive lesson at Skoool.co.uk.

Everyday neutralisation reactions.Learn about everyday neutralisation reactions. Interactive lesson at Skoool.co.uk.

Uses of salts.Learn some of the uses of different salts. Interactive lesson at Skoool.co.uk.

Making a salt using an acid and an alkali.Learn how to prepare a neutral salt sample using an acid and an alkali. Interactive lesson at Skoool.co.uk.

Making a salt using an insoluble base.Learn how to prepare a neutral salt sample from an insoluble base. Interactive lesson at Skoool.co.uk.

The amazing rusting aluminum.Rusting of aluminium can either hold an airplane together or dissolve it to bits. Learn how.

Top 10 amazing chemistry videos.Fiery explosions, beautiful reactions and hilarious music videos are great reasons to be excited about Chemistry. Here are some of the best.

Chemical Equations

Balancing chemical equations.Step by step tutorial.

Science Helpdesk is a website meant to help on developing the scientific contents of the Bilingual Project Integrated Curriculum designed by the Spanish Ministerio de Educación y Ciencia and the British Council.

Science Helpdesk is designed, developed and published by Arturo J. Murias, currently working in the I.E.S. MarÍa Moliner (Segovia, Spain) as a Science teacher in Secondary Education.

This website is under continuous development carried about by one single person. This means that (a) you could spot some relevant defects in the page rendering—please use the "Contact" form to report to the webmaster, (b) that it is not feature complete, and (c) that a few pages are still to come and some sections a bit short of contents.

This website is regularly tested in the latest versions of Mozilla Firefox, Internet Explorer, Google Chrome, Opera and Safari, all of them in Windows.
