Find an interesting biochemistry website and put its link in this entry, and describe what is found there.


              
(chem4kids.com)
            I chose the website chem4kids.com because I thought it was exceptionally educational for the age group it is meant to reach. It presents biochemistry in the simplest sense using terminology and metaphors that are understandable to those at a younger education level. It is a website that covers all of the basics of biochemistry including metabolism, important cycles such as photosynthesis and glycolysis, and it breaks down things such as lipids, carbohydrates, nucleic acids, DNA, and much more.

            The website incorporates colors and helpful pictures to further push the understanding of the informational text provided. There are activities that include quizzes on each of the sections and links to other sites that cover astronomy, biology, chemistry, earth science, and physics. This website can definitely be helpful for more than the target age group. This website can give an educational foundation to anyone without a previous background in the sciences.

  1. I really liked this website, it was very straight forward and the pictures and colors made it easy to understand. Even though it is targeting the younger generations, it would be a good source for an older generation to look at to easily understand the topics on the website.

  2. For the younger aspiring public this website is very informative while still keeping it simple enough for younger people to understand. It could also be useful if someone who was older wanted to brush up on some of the general topics of biology they would be able to easily follow along with what is being said.

  3. Brittany,
    I liked this website so much because it was exactly what you said "straight forward." It displays the fundamental concepts that are great to look back on even at our age. They can be beneficial for all because they are so easy to understand.

    Joe,
    This website is great for younger groups of children and is very informative on the basics of many topics in science. It is a great review for all age groups because it is so easy to follow and not overwhelming with detail!
