Never took Organic Chemistry and looking for a website that gives a basic description of Biochemistry principles so that you can build your knowledge base? Or maybe you know what you are talking about but want to present it to a younger student, or your own child. Then you should check out www.chem4kids.com.
The website provides children and adults alike with a firm introductory base into the concepts of general chemistry and, more importantly to me, biochemistry; including lipids, nucleic acids, amino acid and their structures, and proteins and enzymes.
Simple and colorful diagrams of structures make the topics interesting and engaging. Being that I wish to teach children about science in the future, I found this website a rather helpful tool to help spark an interest into science with younger children. Keeping science fun and interesting will help foster the desire to dig deeper into sciences than just the required courses taken during middle school and high school. I walked though this website with my own daughter, age 11, and the level of excitement from her about this science website was greater than anything I had prevoiusly seen her display about the teachings she receives in school. I would highly recommend this website to anyone to spark an interest!
