Students created all of the sites below. Maybe you and your class will be inspired to create websites of your own!

CHEMystery
        While this virtual chemistry textbook caters to the needs of high school chemistry students, it can be a good resource for you to research the basics. Created by students, the language is very clear and the topics are well explained. The States of Matter section may be particularly relevant.

Hyper Chemistry on the Web
        Designed by students, this site seeks to be a comprehensive chemistry web resource for students and educators. You may find some good extension activities in the "experiments you can do at home" section, and the glossary and history sections may also be useful.

Fabric Online
        This ThinkQuest site (created by two students) explores the world of fabrics and fashion. The sections on textiles (in which they explain how different types of fabric are made as well as their history and origin) and apparel (in which they discuss the roles of climate and culture on the types of clothes people wear) may be particularly useful and interesting.
