Interesting and sometimes useful WWW sites

The following is a list of a number of interesting and useful sites that have been reccommended by teachers and also by my browsing. This list is maintained on my homepage as my "links". This can be accessed from:

http://netspace.net.au/~werry/indexb.htm

In as much as can be determined - the sites are maintained by responsible authors who take pains to ensure scientific accuracy and valid activities. Some of the sites have links to activities that are not reccommended for students on safety grounds.

Please forward any recommendations for additions, corrections (ie incorrect or deleted URL's) or deletions (ie the site is not worth using) to John Werry at werry@netspace.net.au
