National Chemistry Weeks is an annual celebration by the American Chemical Society to bring a positive change in the public's impression of chemistry. This week long event promotes a wide range of chemistry-related activities, particularly for elementary and secondary school children. The theme chosen for 2008 is "Having a Ball with Chemistry." Science NetLinks has created a new resource page to help educators take part in this exciting event. Here you will find a collection of chemistry lessons, tools, websites, podcasts, and online interactives.
