If you are interested in some additional information
about forensic science, check out these web sites:
The FBI's page with information on current FBI investigations, missing persons, academy information, history, etc.
The Department of Justice page for kids (of all ages) with special information for parents on internet safety.
The Forensic Science Resources page maintains a comprehensive listing of references and information on current forensic science topics with medical, mental health, and law links. Not super "pretty" but if you're looking for a reference, it's probably here.
Virtual
Autopsy is a site that allows you to go through the autopsy
with various causes of death. The images are graphic, so watch if
you have a weak stomach. This is a great site for exploring a side
of forensic science that few people get to see up close, but not right
before lunch.
Even though forensic science is my current primary interest,
it will never replace chemistry. I'm always looking for new ideas
to bring chemistry to the students both in the classroom and at home.
The internet offers some web sites that allow the students to take some
chemistry to their own homes.
If you are interested in some chemistry web sites, check out these science web sites:
Paul's Chemistry Lab offers a listing of chemistry links for "the grade school through the graduate school student. It is not such a long list that you can't keep track of what's there. It's got some good references to journals that are useful and a few tutorials that are good.
The Virtual Chemistry site is maintained by the Department of Chemistry at Oxford University. It has several labs that are nice to walk through on the computer. it also has its own molecules of the moth site. A virtual walk through of the city and the university science buildings is also here.
ChemDexis maintained by the Chemistry Department at the University of Sheffield in England. It has a huge amount of information about chemicals, compounds, programs of study at most major (and many minor) universities, chemical corporations, and tons of other stuff. it takes a few clicks to get to where you want to go, but its loaded with information. It's maintained well, updated regularly, and has few links not in existence.
Molecules with Silly or Unusual Names is someplace to go because sometimes you just need a break.
and for a little comic book humor in your life to bring
back memories of childhood comic book days:
The
Periodic Table of Comic Books allows you to click on an element
and see scenes from comic books that relate to the element. For technical
information on the element, it offers a link to Mark Winter's Web Elements.
A must see if you are an action comic book fan.
