Chemistry Web Competition - 2005/6

Please note that this is a legacy web page from 2005/6, so many of the articles linked below may be very out of date and also factually incorrect now. They also use legacy HTML from 2000 (frames, Chime, etc), that may no longer work properly in modern browsers.

Web-based Project Competition

Students were asked to write a mini-project in electronic form, i.e. a series of web pages. The project could be about anything they choose, so long as it has some relevance to Chemistry. We're using the term 'chemistry' loosely, to include biochemistry, atmospheric chemistry, chemical physics, materials, geochemistry, etc.

Examples might be:

• An interesting molecule, its discovery, history, properties, preparation, etc (for example, see the various Molecule of the Month web pages).
• The lifestory of a famous chemist (Curie, Arrhenius, Haber...)
• The discovery of and uses for an important chemical reaction.
• An important biochemical pathway (e.g. the phosphorus cycle in Nature).
• Environmental issues, acid rain, ozone holes, etc.
• The history of a part of the chemical industry (rubber, oil, etc)
• The discovery of the electron (or proton, neutron)
