Global Instructional Chemistry
Welcome to a new concept in the distributed teaching of Chemistry. Over the coming years, these pages will be built up to include small "stories" or case histories illlustrating modern chemistry in action, liberally dosed with "hyperactive" molecules which you will be able to rotate, measure and generally play with. The content will include chemical problems suitable for tutorial and classes, a page where you can log-in to suitable on-line information databases, ...

There has been considerable controversy in the United States concerning the replacement of our English system of units (feet, pounds, etc) with a system more universally agreed upon by organisms with ten fingers. While we have consistently rejected the familiar metric system in this country, alas, almost no attention has been paid to the set of highly desirable Halloween units we use here in Wilton. Their time has come.
Length: The standard unit of length in this system is the average Meg ...
