Can anybody recommend some good science sites for me?

Looking for some sites that I can get some good background information on general chemistry and biology as im starting second year science in college soon.

I have used berkeley.ca(spelling) before..so any college websites, anything but wikipedia you cant really trust all the information you get from there.

Thankyou

Edit: Have I posted this before?

Shockingly wikipedia isn't that bad for theoretical science topics and mathematics, it's where stuff is controversial like politics, philosophy and to a lesser extent medical matters that it's a mess.

I still wouldn't trust it but for a lot of theory stuff in the areas I'm familiar with it's remarkably decent where it's simple facts that aren't open to interpretation which most basic theoretical science is.

heres a good one for math and physics, the guy was supposed to start premed stuff for americans but i dont think he has yet

www.khanacademy.org the guy has like an MBA from harvard and a double BS from MIT

MIT and berkeley's open course stuff isnt too bad either

For pure mathematics Wolfram MathWorld is superb. Though not a whole lot of use to people in this forum tbh.
