ABOUT THIS SITE :
The mission of CRUISING CHEMISTRY is to develop
internet based classroom educational modules to enhance secondary school
chemistry classes. They will emphasize the important role that chemistry
plays in our society. Modules that are being developed emphasize
"everyday chemistry" that is relevant to secondary school students.
Modules currently under development include:
Energy Resources: What Happens When Conventional Sources Run Out ?
Solar Power, Nuclear Power, Coal and Petroleum
Where Did We Come From ? The Chemistry of the Origin of Life
Nuclear Chemistry: What is it and What is it Good For ?
What is in that Glass of Water? The Chemistry of Water Quality
How Do We Get Energy from the Sun ?
Oceans: Chemistry and Life
We invite anyone interested learning more about or participating in
this effort should contact us at
