The document provides a summary of 34 webpages related to physical science standards. Each standard covers topics in chemistry and physics including atomic structure, chemical bonds, acids and bases, thermodynamics, waves, electricity and magnetism. Most websites provide interactive simulations, videos, articles and labs to engage students in learning concepts. Several sites were noted as being particularly appropriate for struggling learners due to comprehensible explanations and kid-friendly design.

Advanced Organic Chemistry Part A_ Structure and Mechanisms 5th Edition by Ca...ANAYNALLELYLAPON
This Fifth Edition marks the beginning of the fourth decade that Advanced Organic Chemistry has been available. As with the previous editions, the goal of this text is to allow students to build on the foundation of introductory organic chemistry and attain a level of knowledge and understanding that will permit them to comprehend much of the material that appears in the contemporary chemical literature. There have been major developments in organic chemistry in recent years, and these have had a major influence in shaping this new edition to make it more useful to students, instructors, and other readers. The expanding application of computational chemistry is reflected by amplified
discussion of this area, especially density function theory (DFT) calculations in Chapter 1. Examples of computational studies are included in subsequent chapters that deal with specific structures, reactions and properties. Chapter 2 discusses the principles of both configuration and conformation, which were previously treated in two separate chapters. The current emphasis on enantioselectivity, including development of many enantioselective catalysts, prompted the expansion of the section on stereoselective reactions to include examples of enantioselective reactions. Chapter 3, which covers the application of thermodynamics and kinetics to organic chemistry, has been reorganized to place emphasis on structural effects on stability and reactivity. This chapter lays the groundwork for later chapters by considering stability effects on carbocations, carbanions, radicals, and carbonyl compounds. Chapters 4 to 7 review the basic substitution, addition, and elimination mechanisms, as well as the fundamental chemistry of carbonyl compounds, including enols and enolates. A section on of the control of regiochemistry and stereo- chemistry of aldol reactions has been added to introduce the basic concepts of this important area. A more complete treatment, with emphasis on synthetic applications, is given in Chapter 2 of Part B. Chapter 8 deals with aromaticity and Chapter 9 with aromatic substitution, emphasizing electrophilic aromatic substitution. Chapter 10 deals with concerted pericyclic reactions, with the aromaticity of transition structures as a major theme. This part of the text should help students solidify their appreciation of aromatic stabilization as a fundamental concept in the chemistry of conjugated systems.

Advanced organic chemistry, Part B_ Reactions and synthesis 5th Edition by Ca...ANAYNALLELYLAPON
The methods of organic synthesis have continued to advance rapidly and we have made an effort to reflect those advances in this Fifth Edition. Among the broad areas that have seen major developments are enantioselective reactions and transition metal catalysis. Computational chemistry is having an expanding impact on synthetic chemistry by evaluating the energy profiles of mechanisms and providing structural representation of unobservable intermediates and transition states. The organization of Part B is similar to that in the earlier editions, but a few
changes have been made. The section on introduction and removal of protecting groups has been moved forward to Chapter 3 to facilitate consideration of protecting groups throughout the remainder of the text. Enolate conjugate addition has been moved from Chapter 1 to Chapter 2, where it follows the discussion of the generalized aldol reaction. Several new sections have been added, including one on hydroalumination, carboalumination, and hydrozirconation in Chapter 4, another on the olefin metathesis reactions in Chapter 8, and an expanded discussion of the carbonyl-ene reaction in Chapter 10. Chapters 1 and 2 focus on enolates and other carbon nucleophiles in synthesis.
Chapter 1 discusses enolate formation and alkylation. Chapter 2 broadens the discussion to other carbon nucleophiles in the context of the generalized aldol reaction, which includes the Wittig, Peterson, and Julia olefination reactions. The chapter and considers the stereochemistry of the aldol reaction in some detail, including the use of chiral auxiliaries and enantioselective catalysts. Chapters 3 to 5 focus on some fundamental functional group modification
reactions. Chapter 3 discusses common functional group interconversions, including nucleophilic substitution, ester and amide formation, and protecting group manipulations. Chapter 4 deals with electrophilic additions to double bonds, including the use of hydroboration to introduce functional groups. Chapter 5 considers reductions by hydrogenation, hydride donors, hydrogen atom donors, and metals and metal ions. Chapter 6 looks at concerted pericyclic reactions, including the Diels-Alder
reaction, 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition, [3,3]- and [2,3]-sigmatropic rearrangements, and thermal elimination reactions. The carbon-carbon bond-forming reactions are emphasized and the stereoselectivity of the reactions is discussed in detail.

Physical Science Standard 8 – Investigation and Experimentation: Scientific
progress is made by asking meaningful questions and conducting careful investigations.
As a basis for understanding this concept and addressing the content in the other four
strands, students should develop their own questions and perform investigations.

ANNOTATION: This site offers power points on chemistry topics for teacher or student
use. The information presented on the slides would be a help to teachers presenting the
chemistry concepts contained within a physical science course or a stand alone course in
chemistry. Worksheets, labs and handouts are also included on this site, but the labs
require equipment and a laboratory.

ANNOTATION: This site provides an interactive tool to explore the human body. This
virtual and interactive human body allows the user to activate, locate and use organs,
muscles, skeletons and the nervous system to understand both structure and function.
This website could be used for biology. In physical science, this site would be highly
effective for a unit on kinetic energy and the body’s use of energy.

ANNOTATION: This site uses a virtual lab setting and allows students to explore
robotics. The modules should be done in order and teach the basics of robot building,
programming robots and basic circuitry. Students will enjoy this virtual experience and
learn about physics and robotics.
