Virtual Chemistry Gallery 
(http://www.chemforlife.org )    

A virtual chemistry gallery, online experiments, and movies about global themes in chemistry. Exciting stuff for budding chemists everywhere and plenty to see and do. An interesting effort in what the Brits sometimes call PUS - public understanding of science.   
   

   
   
Periodic Table 
(http://quizhub.com/quiz/periodictable.cfm) 

First of two novel periodic table sites we have picked this month. This is a free online learning activity for chemistry students. The goal is to drag element symbols on to their correct positions in the periodic table. You'll need the Flash player to get the most out of the site. Once you have done that take a look at the online chemistry guides.   
   

Periodic Table of the Elements  This second periodic table site includes historical and background information on the elements accessible through a PT interface.
