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. "Eras de Renueva" (León, Spain) as a Science teacher in the Bilingual Project (MEC/BC).

This website is in continuous development and currently under construction. This means that (a) you could spot some relevant errors in the rendering of the pages—please use the "Contact" form below 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 Mozilla Firefox 3 and Internet Explorer 8; it is also often tested in the latest versions of Opera, Safari and Chrome browsers, all of them in Windows. Testing for older 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.

JavaScript code (and so, every animation and visual effect) has been written upon the awesome jQuery library developed by John Resig and the jQuery team. RSS fetching 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.
