Classifying Elements, Compounds, and Mixtures
http://www.teacherbridge.org/public/bhs/teachers/Dana/Matter.html
If students are learning elements, compounds, and mixtures and have access to computers, this website consists of a classification quiz. There are no high-level questions, but the instant feedback to an individual student's answers to knowledge level questions is useful in helping a student assess what he/she does or does not understand about classifying an element, a compound, or a mixture.

Wordle
http://www.wordle.net/
The wordle website was one of the Internet tools promoted at the Fall ASCD conference. Encourage your students to use the site if they need to create a visual for their writing. You can use it to create word-filled images for more wall decor. Keep in mind, a wordle creation does not take the place of a standard word wall.
