Photosynthesis and the Web - This friendly and very focused offering, based on an article written in 1999, leads to many, many sites that feature photosynthesis, organized by individual, group, educational, comprehensive overview, and specific- subject categories. Each link has a description, a very helpful touch when confronted with such an exhaustive list. Pertinent books (including those for younger readers and the nonprofessional), journals, and professional organizations appear, as well as sites of particular interest to scientific researchers. Experiment sites that run the gamut from the simple to the complex can be found, and Nobel laureates whose accomplishments relate to photosynthesis are presented. The authors admit that when the project began, they found few sites worthy of mention, but as the web grew, and new search engines were developed, their task became easier.

Dr Paul's Virtually Biology Show - This link takes you to the part of the Virtually Biology Show dealing with some of the more difficult aspects of biology for school students, namely biochemistry. Plenty of information on carbon, steroids, terpenes, fatty acids, triglycerides, phospholipids, amino acids and other biochemical building blocks. By following the site navigator button you reach other aspects of biology, such as cell division and basic chemistry and from here you can see that the biochemistry section is described as "cool!". Dr Paul's idea is to provide an informal adjunct to a good book, more akin to a good lecture. (11 November 2000) SM
