"A drawing package that allows you to draw chemical structures including organics, organometallics, polymers, and Markush structures. It also includes features such as calculation of molecular properties (e.g., molecular weight, density, molar refractivity etc.), 2D and 3D structure cleaning and viewing, functionality for naming structures (fewer than 50 atoms and 3 rings), and prediction of logP."

"On the Kinetics tab, this simulation models the time dependence of a one-way reaction. The rate constant (percent of A converted to B) can be changed to see how this affects the behavior over time. On the Equilibrium tab, not only does A convert to B, but now B converts to A as well. The rate constants of both reactions can be changed to observe how the rate constants affect the equilibrium amounts and the rate at which equilibrium is approached."

"JSDraw™ brings chemistry and biology capabilities to your web pages. With this javascript library, you can display and draw chemical structures in web pages. JSDraw™ works in all major browsers including IE, Firefox, Safari, Opera and Chrome. It is compatible with a variety of operating systems including Windows, Mac, Linux, iPhone/iPad, Android, Chromebook, and other mobile devices."

JSDraw depends on Dojo Toolkit, and you can download it here: https://dojotoolkit.org/download/

"Mirador is a tool for visual exploration of complex datasets. It enables users to discover correlation patterns and derive new hypotheses from the data." "Mirador is an open source project released under the GNU Public License v2. It is the result of a collaboration between the Sabeti Lab at Harvard University, the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard, and Fathom Information Design. Initial support was provided by the Center of Communicable Disease Dynamics and the MIDAS network funded by the National Institutes of Health."

"Finding scientific iPhone (and iPad) applications on the iTunes AppStore can be a bit hit and miss so I thought I’d compile a list of those that I am aware of, feel free to send me details of any I’ve missed."

"The periodic table is a graphic organizer for chemical elements...In this three part simulation, you will organize the elements (represented by individuals atoms) based on the number of valence electrons (shown as dots) in each element."

*A screenreader-friendly version of the simulation is available by clicking the link at the bottom of the page.

By the American Physical Society: "With PhysicsCentral, we communicate the excitement and importance of physics to everyone. We invite you to visit our site every week to find out how physics is part of your world. We'll answer your questions on how things work and keep you informed with daily updates on physics in the news. We'll describe the latest research and the people who are doing it and, if you want more, where to go on the web.."

"In the National Science Foundation's Science Nation online magazine, we examine the breakthroughs, and the possibilities for new discoveries about our planet, our universe and ourselves: An artificial retina that can help the blind to see; new materials to build things bigger, better, lighter, and stronger; new ways to make our lives better without making the environment worse; and what we can learn from organisms that can live and thrive in frozen deserts or steaming-hot volcanic vents."

"Users can search chemicals by name or structure, browse molecules, conditions, properties and references as well as navigate through reactions where a specific chemical is participating either as reactant or as product. The commercial availability and journal article links refer to the main suppliers’ or publishers’ websites.
Thanks to its open architecture, SPRESImobile enables users to share structures and reactions via email or open them within other apps that support standard .mol or .rxn formats. "

"A lesson about every single element on the periodic table. Created by the Periodic Videos team using the TED-Ed platform."

This site provides Fun Facts, Videos, Pictures, Coloring, Books, Activities, Games, Puzzles and Quizzes.

"The Space Place is a joint effort by: National Aeronautics and Space Administration, JPL (Jet Propulsion Laboratory), Caltech, California Institute of Technology, and ITEA (International Technology and Engineering Education Association)."

"The VMK has all of the model building power of a student model kit. It's a desktop, laptop, and tablet (iPad & Android) friendly molecular editor.

The VMK is a window to the world of chemical information. VMK models are quickly linked to online data. Models can also be loaded into the VMK via direct connection to several popular data sources."

"Our mission is to improve health and vitality by empowering people to visually understand and manage their health."

This site provides both videos and interactive models to help people explore and understand the human body and their health.

"The WDL makes it possible to discover, study, & enjoy cultural treasures from around the world on one site, in a variety of ways. These cultural treasures include, but are not limited to, manuscripts, maps, rare books, musical scores, recordings, films, prints, photographs, and architectural drawings."

"WDL items may easily be browsed by place, time, topic, type of item, and contributing institution, or can be located by an open-ended search, in several languages. Special features include interactive geographic clusters, a timeline, advanced image-viewing and interpretive capabilities. Item-level descriptions and interviews with curators about featured items provide additional information."

"All navigation tools, bibliographic information (also known as metadata), and content descriptions are provided in seven languages: Arabic, Chinese, English, French, Portuguese, Russian, and Spanish...Books, manuscripts, maps, and other primary materials on the site are not translated but presented in their original languages. More than 100 languages are represented on the WDL, including many lesser known and endangered languages."
