This page is dedicated to the one you love...

No, that's not right, it's dedicated to POLYMERS, those wonderful, cuddly and sometimes fluffy little molecules (actually BIG molecules) that we all love to play with. Don't know what I'm talking about? Boy, are you out in left field! (That means: "You've got a lot to learn before we let you play in the in-field.")

So why are you here then if you don't know much about polymers? There's an old saying,

"The best way to learn how to fish is to go fishing."

Let's go fishing for polymers: what they are, how they're used, why they are so different from other stuff in our world, and why they are so important for you to know about.

There are several links below that are pretty obvious.

Go to the "Getting Started" page first (Duh!).

If you've already been there (or just don't want any advice that might help you out later), jump on into the main activity page.

Teachers might want to go to the "For Teachers" page for some ideas on how to use these activities in their classes.

There's also a link to our "Polymer Playground" page which has more focused demonstrations and experiments with and about polymers.

Last are links to "Polydelphia," our city of the future with polymers, and to "The Polymer Science Learning Center," which deals with all kinds of other ways of learning the science and technology of polymers.
