Submitted Apr 05, 2008 to Science Courses and Tutorials This resource archive is produced under the auspices of the Journal of Chemical Education Online. We are the source for the Journal's printed "Buyer's Guide", which appears annually with the April issue. The Resource Shelf contains hyperlinks to nearly all of the publishers who maintain Web pages, with links to publishers' pages devoted to individual titles. When they are available, we include citations and links to reviews. In "Hal's Picks of the Month", you will find recommendations of books and recent articles for teachers of chemistry and related sciences. There is an Index that covers the "Picks" since the feature began in 1995. "Journals for Chemical Educators" contains information about all those journals you should be reading, and hyperlinks to those who maintain Web pages. The coverage of software has been expanded to include course management software, graphing applications, and scientific mathematical processors. We also have information about molecular models and laboratory notebooks.

Submitted Apr 05, 2008 to Science Courses and Tutorials Welcome to Biotech-Adventures, an educational web site designed to present the factual information regarding biotechnology in a way that will entertain both students and adults. Faculty expertise in teaching biology (Dr. Meredith Hamilton), animal biotechnology (Dr. Rodney Geisert), plant biotechnology (Dr. Jonathan Shaver), wildlife genetics (Dr. Ronald Van Den Bussche), veterinary science (Dr. Jerry Malayer) and human medicine (Dr. Lee Rickords) brings together a unique group of scientists to develop materials for teaching biotechnology. Ms. Mary Lou Sheffer, School of Journalism and Broadcasting, working with undergraduates in video development, allowed the production of accurate and entertaining films depicting real applications of biotechnology today. Educators be certain and look through our teacher resources where you can download the illustrations and technical animations from the site for use in your teaching program. The younger crowd, or just young at heart, will enjoy the entertaining computer animations found in the Hands-on section.

Submitted Mar 11, 2007 to Science Courses and Tutorials Phylogeny is the organizing principle of modern biological taxonomy, and a guiding principle of modern phylogeny is monophyly: a monophyletic group is considered to be one that contains an ancestral lineage and all of its descendants. Any such a group can be extracted from a phylogenetic tree with a single cut. The tree shown here provides a guide to the relationships among the major groups of the extant (living) organisms in the Tree of Life. We include three groups that are not believed to be monophyletic; these are designated with quotation marks. The tree does not include viruses or prions.
