About the Database

The Molecular Literacy Database is designed to provide teachers and students with easy access to our model-based activities. The activities are derived largely, but not entirely, from projects of the Concord Consortium sponsored by the National Science Foundation (NSF). The models are primarily of interactions of atoms and molecules, or rule-based genetics.

The model-based activities are presented in a variety of sizes, styles, and degrees of teacher support. All activities are accompanied by:

colored icons to indicate degree of support
technological requirements
links to concepts and disciplines

Activities can be accessed by typing an activity number in the field Jump to Activity at top right. Both Teacher Views and Student Views are available.

Note: This database is in development. Only some activities are fully developed; others are "starter models" awaiting further development. Most are being revised. We have tried to indicate their different status with icons.
