It is nice to have our efforts appreciated. There are certainly many ways to use the site and I have asked whether anyone would like to help design a lesson plan around the system but can’t get any takers. Interested???

Do any existing efforts come to mind to integrate these tools into a chemistry classroom? I’m thinking of inquiry-based activities for students, with a workflow something like

1.) Ask a question about how structure and activity are related.
2.) In an online interface, ask students to draw up some ideas they’d like to test
3.) Students explore the data related to their structural queries, form some preliminary hypotheses, and test their ideas with more targeted searches.

Anyway I just wanted to say thanks, I appreciate the spirit of open science and the tremendous resource you’re creating!
