Awards

        This Natural Science Pages were first launched August 12, 1998.  The following is a list of reviews and awards the site has received:

The Big Nose Bird – Tasty Morsel Award
         "The Natural Science Pages by Anthony Carpi of John Jay College in New York City is rather fascinating.  This site brings the subject matter of Course NSC-107 to life through a combination of animated GIF files and Java.  Also, the jokes embedded throughout the material are pretty funny. (in a cerebral sort of way)
     The site is well organized, the content is fantastic, and server response time is fast!  You know I like what’s there because you know I am not a big fan of frames. ;-)
     Stop by and browse around.  You will most likely learn something, and be entertained at the same time.  In my mind, this is what education is all about!"
-Bruce (September 14, 1998)

The Scout Report for Science & Engineering (Vol. 2, #17)
         "Anthony Carpi, assistant professor at John Jay College of Criminal Justice, provides the Natural Science Pages. The site is divided into two primary sections, NSC 107 course-specific material (online supplement to students enrolled in this course at John Jay College) and course lessons (general use). The topics covered in the Course Lessons are Scientific Method, Matter & Energy, Atomic Structure, Periodic Table, Atomic Bonding, Reactions, Acids & Bases, Nuclear Science, The Universe, Organic Chem, Nutrients, DNA, The Cell, and Basic Anatomy. Descriptions, images, diagrams, and links to related resources are provided for each topic. This is an excellent learning resource and is well worth a visit."
- The Internet Scout Project, Computer Sciences Dept., U. Wisconsin, Madison (May 12, 1999)

The Internet Surfer Top Ten Education Sites
         "According to the introduction: 'This site is an interactive journey through the wonders of natural science.  Designed to use animation and experimentation to enhance learning, the site was created by Anthony Carpi, Ph.D.'  This site is excellent - if you go to the Course section you can see detailed explanations with great graphic learning aids, this site is a must for people interested in Science! (or who have school-age children:).  (Also listed on Homeschooling and Education Pages)
