NSDL.org | Educational Resources Search Results > Page 1 | The National Science Digital Library
I primarily utilze the ChemEdLibrary, which is led by the American Chemical Society and the Journal of Chemical Education. This site provides some fantastic three dimensional models of both simple and complex compounds. These are helpful, especially when discussing organic chemistry and chirility, for students who cannot picture the models in their head or are having difficulties building the molecules.

NASA Image eXchange (NIX) - Home
This is the Boolean search engine for the photos, movies, audio files, etc. that NASA has posted on their site. All of their stuff is copyright free (click here to see their disclosure). As with Flickr, there are endless possibilties to using the images! In chemistry we talk alot about energy and how colored light is just a reflection of a specific amount of energy. I could give my students a problem where they had to identify the color that should be given off by a particular star (based on energy data) and ask them to add a photo of an appropriately colored star to their work.
