On This Day in Chemistry

The Royal Society of Chemistry runs Learn Chemistry, an educational website designed for both educators and students. This site includes thousands of lesson plans, laboratory activities, worksheets, online quizzes, and links to additional resources (check out the 11-15-2013 Scout Report for a description of the full site). One of the many useful features of this website is the On This Day in Chemistry page. Here, readers can check out 366 historical chemistry tidbits, one for each calendar day. These tidbits include the births of famous chemists, major inventions and breakthrough discoveries, and important chemistry developments in governmental research and the academy. One can read about the opening of the first nuclear power station (June 27, 1954), the discovery of the electron (April 30, 1897), and the first use of xerography (October 22, 1938). Each On This Day entry is accompanied by Related Resource links, which bring readers to texts and videos related to each day's topic.
