Also included are some instructional documents on organic spectroscopy. A number of items are useful for instructors such as the IR comparitor. For a project summary, see: Merlic, C. A.; Fam, B. C.; Miller, M. M. "WebSpectra: Online NMR and IR Spectra for Students" J. Chem. Ed. 2001, 78, 118-120. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=81129 Animated Organic Reaction Mechanisms http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=91400 Tutorials and interactive quizzes covering basic chemistry, metabolism, enzymes, energy, & catalysis, large molecules, photosynthesis, molecular structure, pH & pKa, clinical correlates of pH .

There is also a link to Dr. Phil Brown?s website where you can get questions for tests. The site?s information is based on the syllabus for UK students. The site does not have many diagrams or any interactive material. However, the information is detailed and clear. Students in high school and undergraduate general chemistry classes will find it very helpful. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=91392 Nearly 3,000 Biochemistry and Molecular Biology terms are concisely defined in this online version of David Glick's glossary of both common words and lab jargon. Users can search aphabetically or by keyword. Definitions are often one sentence and assume user basic knowledge of the biosciences. A bibliography of additional references is included. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=90241 A collection of links to discussions on varoius aspects of polymer science. One describes an experiment for growing a zinc frost crystal, including a movie.
