24-Item Test on Atomic Structure and the Periodic Table
This test covers the topics on atoms and the periodic table. Before starting the test, you will be asked to enter your name (please include your course, year and section, i.e. LEMUEL OWEN H. CABANA BSN1A). A quiz with no name will be scored zero. You will also need a periodic table and a calculator in answering most of the questions in the test.

Chemistry: A Volatile History (a BBC Four Documentary)
As a Chemistry teacher, watching this narrative feels amazingly like watching a big-budget Hollywood film :) This superbly pieced-together documentary and Chemistry lesson in one show beautifully explains the progression of the human understanding of the elements. (If only my chemistry lessons were this good at school, all my students would have become scientists! LOL)
This three-part documentary, produced by BBC Four, features Jim Al-Khalili, a professor of Theoretical Physics, tracing the extraordinary story of how the elements were discovered and mapped. In the process, he uncovers tales of success and heartaches in the story of well-known chemists' battle to control the elements which, in many ways, have helped build our modern world.
Episode 2 is particularly interesting for me since I am presently discussing the Periodic Table of the Elements in my classes.
Many thanks to AtheistMedia.com for uploading the complete set of the documentary on youtube.
