Teachers setting assignments and students wanting project
material are likely to find what they need on a Web site developed over the last
few months by the Australian Academy of Science. The site is called Nova:Science
in the news and it will be officially launched on 8 April in Canberra by Science
Minister Peter McGauran. The site covers such topics as ozone depletion,
cloning, mad cow disease, uranium mining and solar energy. The material has been
written by academy staff and checked with fellows of the academy who are
specialists in the field. Topics will be continually added to the site and placed
in an archive after about 12 months. The Web address is
