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

The website that I chose was www.chem4kids.com. I reason I chose this website is because it gave a great overall of biochemistry. Even as a college student I found it to be a great review of some very important factors in biochemistry. Also, this website seemed very educational for the targeted age group... which is kids! It talks about some of the very important factors in biochemistry like: cycles, sugars, compounds, photosynthesis and much others. The website also gave some great pictures with details on how certain cycles work. Pictures are great on websites or in books because if the reader is a visual learner, like me, then they can really help get the point across. The website also include a quiz at the end, which encourages readers to know the material and get 100% on the quiz provided.
Even though this website does not go into depth for the college level class we are in now, it seemed very informational and educational for the targeted age and also gave a great detailed overview of biochemistry.

  1. I wish I had access to a website like this when I was a kid. Then maybe I could have tested out of this class! Its basic science information everyone should know but I didn't learn until high school. I think that it is good it can be geared toward teaching even younger kids to get them started down the right path early
