The Inquiry Page - Inquiry Based Learning
This website provides a thoughtful and well-written introduction to inquiry-based learning methods with a focus on K-12 educators. The website also provides useful information on assessing student learning in an inquiry-based classroom. As such it should be very useful to college and university faculty interested in developing their own inquiry based units.
Lidar Technology and Applications

A partir de ces diverses expériences et de ses recherches, Geneviève Jacquinot a théorisé dans tous les
Chemical Equilibrium in the Gas Phase
This website describes gas phase equilibrium chemistry and provides a tutorial on key concepts like LeChatelier's principal and includes on-line exercises in which the reader can check their understanding. Calculations of equilibrium constants expressed in terms of pressure and concentration are presented. This site will be most useful for high school and introductory university Chemistry courses in which students are developing an understanding of equilibrium chemistry.

The World's Biomes
The World's Biomes, provided by the University California Berkeley's Museum of Paleontology, is an introduction to the earth's ecological regions. Biomes are the world's ecological communities, distinguishable by their predominant vegetation and by the organisms that have adapted to that vegetation. This site provides an introduction to the environmental and ecological features typical of various aquatic, desert, forest, grassland, and tundra biomes. Users can read about the planet's ecosystems,
WebSpectra - Problems in NMR and IR Spectroscopy
This web site provides thirty beginning, twenty-nine intermediate, and sixteen advanced NMR structure analysis problems and their solutions. For every unknown a proton and a carbon spectrum are provided. Many of the more advanced problems contain COSY and DEPT spectra as well. A particularly useful feature of this site is that the user can zoom into spectral regions in all of the spectra.
An Eye on Food
This C and E News cover story from July 2005 introduces readers to the concept of quality control in food analysis for food safety with an emphasis on the application of near-infrared (NIR) and encoded photometric infrared (EP-IR) spectroscopy, Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometry (FT ICR MS), and microchip analysis. This article would be of potential use to faculty teaching any of these topics in their classroom.
Notes on Bioanalytical Chemistry Lectures
Short lecture notes and support materials for a course in bioanalytical chemistry. Examples of topics covered include isolating and sequencing DNA, DNA chips, data reduction and analysis, biochemistry on the micro to nano scale, genomics and proteomics, and biochemical ethics.
What does life need?
Here's an interactive exercise about the needs of all living things. The introduction explains that scientists can use the knowledge of life requirements to guide their search for life on Mars. Players identify which of these six items are necessary for life: sunlight, oxygen, water, meat, energy, and raw materials. If any wrong answers are given, players are shown the number of correct answers and are given access to Learn More buttons. All the Learn More sections are similar. In them, players

Engineering Large Software Systems
This is an introduction to the theory and practice of large-scale software system design, development, and deployment. Project management; advanced UML; reverse engineering; requirements inspection; verification and validation; software architecture; performance modeling and analysis.
Topics in Medieval Japanese History
This book differs from many other textbooks in that it contains relatively less political, institutional and military history and relatively more social and cultural history than is typically the case. Within the cultural history of medieval Japan, Buddhism is of the utmost importance. This book therefore contains an introduction to the origin and major teachings of Buddhism. Subsequent chapters expand on this introduction in the context of Japanese history.
Redistricting Game
The Redistricting Game is designed to educate, engage and empower citizens around the issue of political redistricting.
