- Soundry :: http://library.thinkquest.org/19537/
- Would you like to know more about sound? This site tells you about the anatomy of the ear, and the physics, the history, and the applications of sound. It also has an interactive sound lab that lets you explore different ideas. Lots of good links and references, too!
- Superconductors :: http://www.superconductors.org/
- This site is a non-profit, non-affiliated resource intended to introduce beginners and non-technical people to information about superconductors.
- WebElements :: http://www.webelements.com/
- "WebElements aims to be a high quality source of information on the WWW relating to the periodic table. Coverage is such that professional scientists and students at school will all find something useful. You will find thousands of graphics showing elements structures and periodic properties here. Currently, most information is about the elements themselves but the scope of WebElements will include simple compounds as well in the future." Click on an element's symbol in the periodic table and get detailed information about the element, along with graphics and images. There are also several chemistry-related calculators. A Scholar Edition for students is also in the works.
