Internet Sources
We all know there is a wealth of information on the internet available on most subjects. The problem with this information is that you don't always know where it comes from or how reliable the source is. It is important to be highly critical of sources found on the internet and to take time to evaluate them before deciding to use them in your projects/papers. Try using the CRAAP Test to evaluate sources you find on the web, and if you have any doubts at all - ASK YOUR PROFESSOR before using the source in your paper!
Here is a small sample of websites suggested for Chemistry Topics. These websites are maintaned by credible sources, but remember, even these may not work if your professor has asked specifically for scholarly/peer reviewed sources!
- American Chemical Society (ACS)The world’s largest scientific society and one of the world’s leading sources of authoritative scientific information.
- ChemCollectiveThe ChemCollective is a collection of virtual labs, scenario-based learning activities, tutorials, and concept tests.
- National Science Digital LibraryProvides high quality online educational resources for teaching and learning, with current emphasis on the sciences, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) disciplines. You can get to Chemistry resources by browsing under the "Subject" menu.
- Chemistry Learning CenterOnline resources including tutorials by the Department of Chemistry at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.
- Science History InstituteFormed by the merger of the Chemical Heritage Foundation and the Life Sciences Foundation, the Science History Institute collects and shares the stories of innovators and of discoveries that shape our lives. We preserve and interpret the history of chemistry, chemical engineering, and the life sciences.
