This can be an invaluable resource for anyone studying for the Praxis II Chemistry Content Knowledge. It has a great number of quizzes and tests with answers, tutorials, and some presentations. You can also find specific information on areas of Chemistry such as molecular orbitals, ideal gas. solutions, and atomic structure. This page is also an ideal link to have in the arsenal of any Secondary Chemistry teacher for use in the classroom or as an internet resource to refer students to.

Got a clue? If so this site will provide a wealth of knowledge with which you can crack the case.
This is a great site for reinforcing Chemistry lessons or doing a self-test to see how well you know your stuff. My particular favorite is the games and puzzles page where you can test your skills at balancing equations, at remembering chemical symbols, mass and atomic numbers, and at deriving chemical formulas. This site which is maintained by Jefferson labs provides a number of assets for any student of Chemistry. The student and teacher resource pages are well-worth exploring as they offer a number of ideas for engaging lab experiements, handouts, and other activities.
