Interactive Periodic Table  (M, O)
TEDed, the branch of TED developed specifically for educators, offers this interactive periodic table with a video (approximately 6 minutes each) about each element. Also included is a link to a page with ways to Dig Deeper (for example, one of the Dig Deeper links for aluminum is to a video of aluminium soda cans being tested with both an acid and a base to see what kind of reaction they produce) and a page with examples of products that contain the referenced element and how they are used.

Middle School Chemistry  (M, O)
Middle School Chemistry is "a resource of guided, inquiry-based lesson plans that covers basic chemistry concepts along with the process of scientific investigation." From the American Chemical Society (ACS), the free book helps students ask scientific questions and investigate them, design and conduct experiments, understand their observations on the molecular level, and record and communicate results. The lessons can be viewed online with multimedia or downloaded as a 22MB PDF file. The lessons are also available in Spanish.
