Food Biochemistry in the web: proposal of a site to support actual and virtual classes

Based on the evident lack of resources to the realization of experimental activities, especially in the Brazilian public high school establishments, and observing a considerable increase in the scholar use of computers, this paper presents an electronic guide containing biochemical experiments, that intends to complement the actual classes, neither substituting other kinds of subjects, nor serving as the students unique contact with the practical activities, but contributing as a teaching and learning tool. The site brings up interactive texts, including a theoretical introduction to important topics in food biochemistry and the description of the experimental proceedings, which always shows a demonstrative photographic sequence that allows the virtual accompaniment of the experiments. This website can be accessed by the virtual address http://www.fcfar.unesp.br/alimentos/bioquimica/menu.htm, where forms are available, aimed for evaluation and constant material improvement.
