Molecule of the Month page! Each month a new molecule will be added to the list on this page. The links will take you to a page at one of the Web sites at a University Chemistry Department or commercial site in the UK, the US, or anywhere in the world, where useful (and hopefully entertaining!), information can be found about a particularly interesting molecule. http://www.chm.bris.ac.uk/motm/motm.htm

Raising Butterflies Online: Encourage families to complete this 30-day program, which teaches children about the life cycle of a monarch butterfly in a brand new way.
