ScienceInTheBox
http://www.scienceinthebox.com
Scienceinthebox.com covers a range of interesting and entertaining topics! The site was created to share the science behind Proctor & Gamble's laundry and cleaning products with a focus on addressing sustainable practices and products which embrace social responsibility as well as environmental practices. Product development and other considerations are presented. Users can select topics can be saved into a File Basket, downloaded, and printed. The interactive pages are particularly fun - especially the history of washing - http://www.scienceinthebox.com/en_UK/publications/interactivecontents_en.html. The glossary in the side menu provides definitions for numerous chemicals and terms.
