explanation is provided, but where 3D images of the molecules are not
available. Two of the best portions are the tutorials on
amino acids
and on protein structure.

- Basics of DNA Fingerprinting
http://www.biology.washington.edu/fingerprint/dnaintro.html
This page was created in 1994 as a class project at the University of Washington to provide to the
Internet basic information on the structure and function of DNA as it relates to DNA
fingerprinting. This topic is especially pertinent in today's society because of the rising use of
DNA fingerprinting as evidence in court cases.

- The Chemistry Tutor CD-ROM
http://www.liv.ac.uk/ctichem/c3HM.html
The Chemistry Tutor CD-ROM contains twenty-two modules of computer-assisted
learning material and five tools. It is designed for use in a tutorial situation or as
self-paced study material.
The software has been developed as a series of resourceware modules in three
subject areas; Basic Chemistry, Organic Chemistry and Theoretical Methods.
Having been designing as resourceware, the modules are very flexible to use, and
can be implemented alongside more traditional teaching methods. Teachers are able
to pick and choose which parts they wish to use with their students.
Extensive use has been made of visual material (graphics, animation, video),
questions and interactions, whilst text has been kept to a minimum. There is a
strong emphasis on exploration and learning by doing

University level, many of the lessons in each set are applicable to high school courses, particularly those offering
AP or IB programs. Chem1 Concept Builder provides guided, interactive and in-depth instruction in General Chemistry at the college and advanced-HS level. It can serve as the major instructional delivery tool in a CAI-based or distance-education course, for self-study, or as a supplement to conventional courses. Free evaluation copies for teachers.

- Understanding Our Planet Through Chemistry
http://minerals.cr.usgs.gov/gips/aii-home.htm
This WWW Poster Session, produced by the U. S. Geological Survey,
describes the role of chemistry in issues vital to our economy, health, and well-being.
When we are analyzing a sample of the Earth, we never ask if a specific element is present. Virtually every
sample of the Earth contains every natural element at some amount. The more appropriate questions are: How
much of it is present? Is there enough to be mined profitably? In the environment, is it dangerous at this level or
in this form? And after we've identified the issues that we need to solve about our planet, we then need to ask,
What clues can we find that will give us the answer?
- WebElements 2
http://www.shef.ac.uk/~chem/web-elements/
This is a major revision of the first version of WebElements and comes with
much more data and now with pretty pictures. Also, a lot of the data has
been corrected, although there will still be errors, inevitably. There is still much to do before version 2 is complete but it is now at the
stage where feedback would be useful. I should therefore be very pleased to
receive comments and suggestions about WebElements 2.
