A brief description of the non-metal element Sulfur.

In this lesson plan the teacher uses sulfuric acid with stones, leaves, and raw fish to demonstrate the effects of acid rain on the environment. Young scholars create an environmental mural.

This site may focus on fun, rather than facts, but it will become a favorite of any Chemistry student. Here you will find scanned images of panels and/or pages of comic books, with references to the element you seek.

Using a question and answer format, this page addresses the question: "What effect may crystallization have on the optical properties of a material?" Crystalline and amorphous solids are compared and contrasted; their properties are...

This video segment adapted from NOVA chronicles the discoveries that led to a radical new theory in which living organisms, not just geological processes, play an active role in cave formation. [5:42]

Site describes process of photosynthesis, including role of pigment molecules, electron transport, ATP synthesis, and carbohydrate synthesis. Includes links to illustrative graphics.

Explains what greenhouse gas is, how the greenhouse effect works, and the history of fossil fuel combustion. Causes of other damaging greenhouse gases, including methane, nitrous oxide, chlorofluoracarbons, hydrofluorocarbons, and...

An introduction, aimed at upper elementary- and middle-school learners, to acid rain. [Click back to home to access the site in Spanish.]

An explanation of how in the deep sea, where the sun's rays never reach, organisms make food from chemicals, a process called chemosynthesis.

Find out what sources are contributing to the particulate pollution in your state. An interactive bar graph shows the major types of air pollution and their sources. This particular activity focuses on two types of particulates.

Facts about some major environmental pollutants produced by power plants, and what consumers can do to lower the carbon footprint from their energy use.

This colorful site not only provides images of some common insects, but includes information on the foods which they eat as well as the habitats where they can be found.

In this investigation sulfuric acid will be added to a solution of Ba(OH)2 using a pH probe and a conductivity probe. From this process the pH of first and second equivalence points will be determined along with mapping the conductivity...

Students observe and perform experiments with sodium, potassium, calcium, magnesium, sulfur ,and phosphorus. The discover trends down groups, across periods, and having to do with the pH of metal oxides vs. nonmetal oxides.

This 1986 journal article reports that most microbial communities have escaped description. Article covers communities and ecosystems, microbial communities in termite intestines, microbial mats in evaporite flats, and microbial...

The team at Periodicvideos has created a TED-Ed Lesson for every element of the periodic table. This one is about selenium- element number 34 and you can find it below sulfur on the periodic table. [2:12]

Site gives a fairly high level breakdown of the general contents of a fertilizer (the Nitrogen, Phosphorus, Potassium, and Sulfur content) and what that does for soil.

Sexton beetles are the undertakers of the beetle world. They are attracted to the corpses of small mammals and birds by sulfur chemicals given off during decay. Learn more about sexton beetles in this well-constructed overview produced...

This is a very large list of minerals complete with image and physical descriptions, chemical descriptions, and classification.

Through interactive activities, reading exercises, and lab activities, students study how science, matter, energy, and systems are interrelated.

Click on the shelves in this virtual exhibition to learn about the many rocks and minerals that we use in our everyday lives.

Students will have an opportunity to create memorials at the World Trade Center site to commemorate the September 11th attacks. Come and check it out.

This journal article discusses incorporation of the Winogradsky Column into high school science classrooms to demonstrate nutrient cycles and inter-relatedness of organisms in the environment.

This resource provides information on a rather interesting spontaneous endothermic reaction, involving cobalt (II) chloride and thionyl chloride.
