REVIEW:
CHEMystery was set up as an interactive textbook for high school chemistry students. The site includes links to other Internet chemistry resources. Users will find a meeting forum where they can discuss homework, chemistry, and science. Topics covered on the site are "Atoms and Molecules," "States of Matter," "Chemical Reactions," "Periodic Table of the Elements," "Atomic Structure and Bonding," "Energy," "Thermodynamics," "Equilibrium," "Acids and Bases," "Electrochemistry," "Organic Chemistry," and "Nuclear Reactions." With such a variety of chemistry topics covered, educators and students alike will find this a valuable site. The site could be used to create lesson plans involving the Internet. Viewers could also use the site for reference and research.
