Week 9:  review of Animations link:   The "Periodic Properties" section is GREAT.  Tells a lot about the history of the Periodic Table, and has good graphics and explains things in an engaging way.... the Acids/Bases/Salts  section was less impressive. Just kind of like reading a boring textbook......except for that one funny picture of a dog drinking out of a toilet, although what that has to do with the subject is questionable.....

My favorite definition of biochemistry was: " Biochemistry is the science that studies the activities of living organisms at the cellular and molecular level".  While all the definitions are technically correct,  this one is specific enough to really define it and give you an idea of what a biochemist might be engaging in.....  A broad statement like "Biochemistry is the chemistry of life" may sound poetic, but it is not helpful to differentiate it from other types of chemistry or biology.......
