Excerpt:
MendelWeb is an educational resource for teachers and students interested in the origins of classical genetics, introductory data analysis, elementary plant science, and the history and literature of science. Constructed around Gregor Mendel's 1865 paper "Versuche über Pflanzen-Hybriden" and a revised version of the English translation by C.T. Druery and William Bateson, "Experiments in Plant Hybridization", MendelWeb is offered as a public sourcebook and collaborative environment compatible with a variety of guided and independent studies. For some background and an early description of the project, you may want to read MendelWeb: An electronic science/math/history resource for the WWW, a short paper prepared for the 2nd International World Wide Web Conference.
Annotation:
This project, constructed as an electronic textbook, uses Gregor Mendel's 1865 paper "Versuche über Pflanzen-Hybriden" as a platform to examine the theory and practice of science from a historical perspective. The site includes text of the original paper, a second version of the paper which can be annotated by readers, essays generated by the project, and additional resources and tools for Mendel research.
