Chemistry, Elements & Matter

Updated on March 2, 2017

These websites and apps have chemistry lessons, games, activities, experiments, projects and videos.  They help  high school students and younger kids learning basic chemistry, elements and matter.  Some of the sites have more advanced lessons for students learning AP chemistry.

For more chemistry projects, take a look at my article on Project Based Learning Science.
