Periodic Table
As you begin to work on your element reports, here are a few sites that you may wish to visit. You’ll be able to find many others, and I would appreciate your writing back with a comment about any sites that you think are especially helpful. Don’t forget to include the web address for your bibliography, and don’t forget to include units with any kind of quantitative information about the element. Have fun!

Well, did any of you use this weekend to start your candy-making? I’m excited to see what you all will come up with! Here is a site that I found from MIT that links you to various articles related to the chemistry of cooking. The home page site - with all sorts of connections to many things about food chemistry - is found here.  I tracked a connection to candy-making specifically, and I think you might find some of the facts given really helpful when you consider your candy report.  You may just find the cooking facts interesting no matter what! 

Welcome, chemistry students!

 Welcome to the first post on our new chemistry web blog. I hope that as the site develops, you’ll find the information here helpful, informative, and enlightening. I enjoy finding interesting chemistry links . . . one thing I would like to do with this blog is to introduce you to some interesting chemicals. I’m going to feature a Chemical of the Week; to get us started, here is an interesting article on the chemistry of fall colors. Give it a read!
