Students are not limited to their course curriculum when it comes to learning about chemistry. At Laurel Springs, we encourage students to expand their knowledge by using online educational activities created by subject matter experts. There are many web resources that can serve as excellent supplements to help kids absorb what can feel like very complex concepts. And for students learning about science outside a traditional classroom, the internet is an especially helpful tool for learning in their kitchens, in virtual labs, or by watching simulations and videos. From interactive games to webquests and terrific graphic resources, put these links on your list for a better understanding of chemistry.
