Recorded archive of the NSDL Web Seminar, Chemistry Comes Alive III: Water, a part of the NSTA Web Seminar Series for teacher professional development
View water molecule using Chem Ed DL's Molecule 360 software. It shows you a water molecule that you can manipulate and move around, adding atom labels, electric properties, etc.
Student activities from the American Chemical Society as a part of the Chem ED digital library
Periodic Table Live! allows you to explore a broad range of information about the elements, their reactions, their properties, their structures and their histories.
Introduction to Chemistry: Shockwave animations related to solubility from CSERD (Computational Science Education Reference Desk http://cserd.nsdl.org)
From the NSDL Middle School Pathway collection, a primer for properties of water from Visionlearning.com. Check out the video used in the seminar called "Jesus Lizard"
ChemEd DL aims to provide exemplary digital resources, tools, and online services to aid in teaching and learning chemistry. A collaborative, community-driven effort, we provide a destination for all those interested in chemistry to share what they know so that others may learn.
General Chemistry Multimedia Problems ask students questions about experiments they see presented using videos and images. The questions asked apply concepts from different parts of an introductory course, encouraging students to decompartmentalize the material. Order through the Journal of Chemical Education
From WGBH Teachers' Domain (http://www.teachersdomain.org): Interactions between Earth's atmosphere and oceans drive weather and climate patterns. Although these interactions and patterns are complex, they are also predictable. This animation from The New Media Studio explains precipitation patterns by illustrating how differences in ocean surface temperatures create wind, and how wind patterns can in turn affect ocean surface temperatures.
From the Middle School Math and Science Portal: Background Information for Teachers related to water and the water cycle. Links to resources, activites and standards
Lessons and activitie reviewing the water cycle from the Middle School Math and Science Portal
EPA site listed in the NSDL Middle School Math and Science Portal:This web site, developed by the Environmental Protection Agency, is divided into four interactive, animated graphic sections: rain, water storage, vapor, and clouds. Students can discover the forms of precipitation and why it occurs, the development of aquifers, transpiration, and condensation. This is a great web site for young students to grasp the connections between different forms of water.

From the abstract: Yet another theory of liquid water structure raises questions about interdisciplinarity, drug design, astrobiology, molecular biology, geochemistry and more.
From the Journal of Chemical Physics: Vibrational echo correlation spectroscopy experiments on the OD stretch of dilute HOD in H2O are used to probe the structural dynamics of water
We explore the nature of hydrogen bonding at the interface as well as its impact on the sum-frequency spectrum. It is found that the spectrum is dominated by single-donor molecules with a total of two or three hydrogen bonds.
"DigiDemos" is the Web-based version of the Journal of Chemical Education's Tested Demonstration feature, and part of NSDL.

From the Chemistry Comes Alive video collection of the NSDL Chemical Education Digital Library (http://chemeddl.org) A cast iron bomb filled with water is placed in a dry-ice/acetone slush and covered with a wooden box. When the water in the bomb freezes, the bomb explodes. This demonstration is dangerous and the required equipment can be difficult to obtain.
