- Global Instructional Chemistry
Welcome to a new concept in the distributed teaching of
Chemistry. Over the coming years, these pages will be built up to include small
"stories" or case histories illlustrating modern chemistry in action,
liberally dosed with "hyperactive" molecules which you will be able to
rotate, measure and generally play with. The content will include chemical
problems suitable for tutorial and classes, a page where you can log-in to
suitable on-line information databases, pages where you can acquire programs and
other software, and any other good ideas that people come up with. We expect
these pages will be used to augment and enhance local courses rather then to
replace their teachers! Netscape 1.1N or
later recommended!
