* Chemical modeling - Using resources to model molecules and looking at the kind of molecule a certain combination of atoms make.  Goes into using this kind of modeling to make new drugs.  Would include a lecture that harks back to an (most likely) earlier lecture about how modeling is the third leg and then go into how drug companies have saved billions of dollars by being able to get through the early phases of drug development with just models.  Would have a lab to come up with a feasible possibility for a new type of drug, and what it would/could possibly treat. Need to look into the availability of a computational chem server, as it might not be for use for beyond high school.
