During the research and writing of this blog, I have found some resources that are useful for the classroom teacher. As I encounter them, I will add them to this listing.
1) New York State Reference Table for the Physical Setting / Chemistry

2) You can go online to get the daily barometric pressure:

Enter your zip code to get local weather readings.
3) Bank of chemistry quizzes and tests

4) This video, "Powers of Ten" (1977) is an interesting example of the range of scale we deal with in science, and it's only 9 minutes long! I think it's a very useful overview!

I'm sorry there are so many items from New York -- I just know it very well and there's a lot out there!
6) Book of chemistry worksheets
This is a fantastic book and totally worth purchasing! I have 2 or 3 copies (it's always handy to have an extra).

It's for an AP chemistry course, but you can pick what you might like to use.
