Science Helpdesk

Science Helpdesk is a website meant to help on developing the scientific contents of the Bilingual Project Integrated Curriculum designed by the Spanish Ministerio de Educación y Ciencia and the British Council.

Science Helpdesk is designed, developed and published by Arturo J. Murias, currently working in the I.E.S. Arribes de Sayago (Bermillo de Sayago, Zamora, Spain) as a Science teacher in Secondary Education.

This website is under continuous development carried about by one single person. This means that (a) you could spot some relevant defects in the page rendering—please use the "Contact" form to report to the webmaster, (b) that it is not feature complete, and (c) that a few pages are still to come and some sections a bit short of contents.

This website is regularly tested in the latest versions of Mozilla Firefox, Internet Explorer, Google Chrome, Opera and Safari, all of them in Windows. Testing for old browsers is rarely done, though, and using them might result in unexpected display or behaviour defects. Specifically, you are advised to not to use versions 6 or older of Internet Explorer.

Parts of this site (specifically photos and videos) are used without permission, but within fair use, for the purposes of education.

JavaScript code (and so, every animation and visual effect) has been written upon the jQuery library, developed by John Resig and the jQuery team. RSS feeds retrieval is accomplished through the SimplePie PHP library developed by Ryan Parman, Geoffrey Sneddon and contributors. The icons used here come from a variety of sources, including the Silk Icons icon set created by Mark James.
