The World Library of Science is a free online resource for a global community. Developed as a partnership between UNESCO and Macmillan Science and Education, this online Library offers quality Nature Education content in short eBooks and articles, serving a mission to equalize access to high quality resources for science education for all communities across the globe. All offerings are digital, allowing easy access to online tools and networks. The content of the World Library of Science is meant to inspire more learning and curiosity, and help train students and teachers alike, both in the content and cultural impacts of scientific discovery. Future plans involve expansion of life and physical science subjects, as well as translation of resources into multiple languages.

arXiv is an e-print service in the fields of physics, mathematics, computer science, quantitative biology, quantitative finance and statistics. Submissions to arXiv should conform to Cornell University academic standards. arXiv is owned and operated by Cornell University, a private not-for-profit educational institution. arXiv is funded by Cornell University Library, the Simons Foundation and by the member institutions.

Crash Course Astronomy is a 46-episode PBS series that educates the public about all things astronomy. Each episode is approximately ten minutes in length and covers topics ranging from Moon Phases to Black Holes to Gamma Ray Bursts. Written and hosted by astronomer and blogger Phil Plait, Crash Course Astronomy features clear, accessible explanations of astronomical phenomena accompanied by engaging (and helpful) images, videos, and animations. Episodes can be enjoyed individually - although many reference previous episodes, which may inspire viewers to explore the series chronologically. Crash Course Astronomy is a great resource to include in any science classroom, and may broadly appeal to anyone looking to make sense of astronomy-related news stories, whether they cover exoplanets or eclipses.

This resource includes news, articles, and a comprehensive annotated index to on-line physics resources; from the Institute of Physics. The Buyer's Guide is a classified business directory with links to suppliers of lab equipment and other materials. Information is also included for conferences, workshops, and worldwide job listings.

Great site for the beginning physics student.

Sponsored by the American Physical Society, this site takes readers into dozens of different physics topics, often from unexpected and interesting angles. On the site, the whirling skirts worn by Moslem ascetics serve as fodder for an explanation of the Coriolis Effect; a water slide becomes the example in an article on atomic friction; and the history of batteries may just tell us the energy storage possibilities of the future. The site can be searched by nine different topics, including Chaos, Force & Motion, and Material Science (among others). The entire backlog of articles is also fully accessible under the Archives tab.

Hosted by the Cornell University Library, this archive provides searchable access to 778,005 research papers in physics, mathematics, computer science, and quantitative biology.

This section contains online books and references on physics books, Physics texts and Physics textbooks. The topics available are Introductory Physics, Theoretical Physics, Modern Physics, Condensed Matter, Atomic Physics, Particle Physics, Nuclear Physics, Quantum Physics, Quantum Field Theory,Quantum Mechanics, Electricity, Magnetism, Electrodynamics, Solid State Physics, Superconductivity, Mathematical Physics, Conservation Laws, Optics, Plasma Physics, Thermodynamics, Fluid Mechanics, Mechanics, Statistical Mechanics, Continuum Mechanics, Classical Mechanics, Dynamics, Relativity, Vibration Waves, Computational Physics, Medical Physics, Astronomy, Biophysics, Chemical Physics, Geophysics

Comprehensive collection of links organized into broad main categories: Chemistry Overview, Periodic Tables and Databases; Chemicals & Biochemical Databases; Analytical Chemistry; and First and Second Year Courses, Tutorials, and Video.

An online encyclopedia created by Eric W. Weisstein, Wolfram Research with entries relating to chemical reactions, experimental chemistry, geology, inorganic chemistry, mineralogy, organic chemistry, petrology, and quantum chemistry. Most of the entries are brief definitions, but some entries are several paragraphs and include charts and equations. The entries are cross referenced.

A collection of categorized links to sites in the field of organic chemistry, including sections for databases, scholarly literature, work-up, structural analysis, chemical reaction instrumentation, set-up, and equipment.

A video-based instructional series in chemistry with accompanying web site for high school and college classes. 13 half-hour programs, online text, course guide, interactive lessons, historical timeline and periodic table.
Chemistry: Challenges and Solutions teaches concepts of general chemistry by presenting real challenges in energy production, materials development, biochemistry, and environmental protection. The course zeroes in on core topics taught in introductory chemistry, providing a strong foundation for learners to pursue further study in science, med-tech fields, or a liberal education. Videos include lab demonstrations of key laws and processes, interviews with research scientists and industrial chemists, and explanatory animations. An online text covers science history and major discoveries with clear explanations and graphics. Interactive labs provide hands-on simulations of chemical processes.

Born at the turn of the twentieth century in a tiny Illinois farming community, Arnold Beckman went on to become an influential chemist, inventor, and philanthropist to whom the National Academy of Science awarded its highest honor: the Public Welfare Medal. Beckman's inventions include the first commercially successful electronic pH meter in 1934. From this, he started Beckman Instruments (now Beckman Coulter, Inc.), which grew to specialize in a wide range of laboratory and biomedical instruments. Beckman's personal papers and the corporate records of Beckman Coulter, Inc., have been made digitally available by the Science History Institute. The Beckman Historical Collection, which currently contains over 2,400 works, includes letters, photographs, business correspondence, advertisements, instrument manuals, patents, internal publications and memos, ephemera, and more. This collection is searchable and can be narrowed by numerous fields, and images can be downloaded as a variety of file types and resolutions. The Science History Institute, which was renamed as such in February 2018 following the 2015 merger of the Chemical Heritage Foundation and the Life Sciences Foundation, is a Philadelphia-based non-profit that "collects and shares the stories of innovators and of discoveries that shape our lives."

PubChem is an open chemistry database at the National Institutes of Health (NIH). It mostly contains small molecules, but also larger molecules such as nucleotides, carbohydrates, lipids, peptides, and chemically-modified macromolecules. It collects information on chemical structures, identifiers, chemical and physical properties, biological activities, patents, health, safety, toxicity data, and many others.

For college professors looking for engaging activities that will instill the basic constructs of structural geology, these visualizations will provide welcome sustenance. Topics include Orogeny, Uplift and Erosion, Isostasy, Maps and Mapping, Folds, Faults, and Shear Zones, Sandbox Movies, Microstructures and Fabric, and Stress and Strain. Within each topic area there are a number of visualizations that may be integrated into undergraduate classes and projects. For example, within Uplift and Erosion readers will find a depiction of the Plio-Pleistocene tectonic shortening of the Transverse Ranges in California, as well as a visualization that "shows a cut-globe view of the continental collision between India and Eurasia from 60 million years ago to present." Anyone with an interest in geology and the earth sciences will find much to enjoy on the site. [CNH]
