Welcome to the new Education Home Page!

We hope that you find these resources worthwhile. This site is new, but growing. Here's a summary of what's in place and "in the works":

• Molecular Modeling Resources for use in Undergraduate Chemistry courses

• Annotated Links to sites of interest to chemistry students and educators

• List of published papers that reference (mention, use, review) Hypercube software

• Image and Animation Gallery (see links)

• Sponsorship of a HyperChem Educational User's Group. For now, we suggest you join our HyperChem Internet User's Group.

We would be delighted to hear from you today with your feedback and ideas.

Chemical Education WWW Sites

Chemical Education Resource Shelf

This on-line source of the Journal of Chemical Education's Book Buyer's Guide includes an expanded list of software publishers and new Lab Demonstrations, Chromatography, and Safety categories.

JCE Software

Educational software, videotape, CD-ROM and videodisc resources. A part of the Journal of Chemical Education.

ACS ChemCenter

Visit the home page for access to the on-line resources of the American Chemical Society, with meeting and conference information, on-line publications, professional services, and scientific databases. The Education Center contains information on education programs and other resources.

NIH Center for Molecular Modeling

This site provides valuable information and links for research and educational uses of molecular modeling, and is particularly strong with respect to biologically relevant molecular modeling resources. A Guides and Tutorials section has links to background information on molecular modeling as well as tutorials of all kinds.

ChemED: Chemistry Education Resources

A diverse and useful compilation of links: Chemical Images and Databases (visit this one!), History of Chemistry, Chemical Safety, Science Reference Desk.

Computational Chemistry List

To quote from the CCL home page, "The Computational Chemistry List (CCL) was established on Jan. 11, 91 as an independent electronic discussion forum for chemistry researchers and educators from around the world."
