CONTENT:
HMChem: General Chemistry Online provides supplemental chemistry curriculum materials, including lab simulations
and exercises, links to drill and self-assessment and practice problems, animated videos, and a complete chemistry
textbook. Three parts of the Test Center (Self Test, Assignments, and Instructor Resources) require a username
and password, but the rest of the site is free and accessible to anyone. |

REVIEW:
HMChem holds a wealth of information and resources for the high school chemistry teacher and student. There
are five sections: classroom, test center, lab, library, and real world. The library contains the complete text
of Ebbing/Gammon, General Chemistry, as well as models of molecules, a long list of movies and animations, simulations,
and appendices with supporting information. The classroom provides additional information with hyperlinked text
that links to diagrams and further explanation. The lab offers simulated experiments and pre-lab exercises.
The test center provides problems for drill and practice and quizzes arranged by topics. Students receive immediate
feedback on the quizzes with a link to help with the incorrect questions. The real world section explores the
application of chemistry to ecology, engineering, geology, industry, medicine, and other fields. |
