Nevertheless, the adult population of web users should be put on notice
that the Homework resource pages will provide much very useful information
and many web resources that should keep adults learning and much better
informed, they mostly are not sites just for children.

For example:

Human Genome Project
http://www.er.doe.gov/production/ober/hug_top.html
Office of Biological and Environmental Research provides this site.
