is an online interactive resource from the University of Arizona.
Topics include: HIV; DNA Profiling; Cell Biology; Developmental
Biology; Immunology and more.
Biology4Kids
Created to introduce students to the world and workings of biology.
Topics include Cells, Studies and Methods, Microbes, Plants, Invertebrates
and Vertebrates.
Seeing,
Hearing & Smelling the World From the Howard Hughes Medical
Institute, this is an excellent resource for learning about our
senses and nervous system.
Medline
Health Information This
well-organized resource site offers information on conditions, diseases
and wellness, plus a medical encyclopedia. Also, a regularly-updated
'Current Health News' section.
MayoClinic.Com
This is another health education site for the general public.
Beyond
DiscoveryTM: The Path from Research to Human Benefit
is a series of articles that trace the origins of important recent
technological and medical advances. For example, 'The Hepatitis
B Story'; 'Magnetic Resonance Imaging'; and 'Human Gene Testing'.
Bio-Ditrl
This digital teaching resources for biology library will help you
incorporate technology into your biology classrooms.
Instructional
Multimedia From the department of biological sciences at UofA,
you'll enjoy these simulations on every possible topic.
Biology
Labs Online Offers a series of interactive, inquiry-based biology
simulations and exercises designed for college and AP high school
biology students. Thirteen different labs. Free trial period.
Froguts
This site offers a free online dissection based lesson, available
to teachers and students.
Plant
Image Gallery This site should prove useful in the classroom
for students learning plants as a part of their studies.
Molecular
Expressions
Features several photo galleries that explore the fascinating world
of optical microscopy. This site is also a great resource for students
to explore before their own work on microscopes, or after using
microscopes to figure out how the images are captured.
The
Multi-dimentional Human Embryo This is a three-dimensional image
reference of the Human Embryo based on magnetic resonance imaging.
Biozone
Biolinks This is an impressive hotlist with over 500 links covers
biology, biotechnology, diseases, evolution and microbiology. Links
are organized into 16 main topics and 65 subtopics that support
health and science education. Browse the main link page for monthly
updates.
The
Biology Place The teams of leading educators at The Biology
Place are continually creating resources for educators and students.
For any biology topic, this site offers many learning opportunities
such as WebQuests, current articles, quality internet links, and
on-line tests. Educators may have a free 7-day trial, but there
is a fee for extended use.
National
Biological Information Infrastructure The NBII is an electronic
gateway to biological data and information maintained by federal,
state, and local government agencies; private sector organizations;
and other partners around the nation and the world.
BugScope
The Bugscope project is an educational outreach program for K-12
classrooms. The project provides a resource to classrooms so that
they may remotely operate a scanning electron microscope to image
"bugs" at high magnification. The microscope is remotely
controlled in real time from a classroom computer over the Internet
using a web browser.
Switcheroo
Zoo
Create new and exciting animals using Flash technology and your
browser. Learn some basic animal facts then let the fur fly. Students
can morph new pets, or use the legs, tail and head of animals to
generate discussions of genetic engineering. Lesson plans are available
for language arts and science.
POP
Goes Antarctica
What does it take to be a scientist on Antarctica? How do you sterilize
lab equipment? Students explore this website to find out about Antarctica
and the work being done there to study Persistent Organic Pollutants.
Student activities really try to put students in the real world
of this project.
Evolution
This website, supporting the PBS series, puts many of the resources
used in the series online. There are online activities for students
and an eight-part series of activities for teachers teaching evolution
in the classroom.
BioTerror
NOVA follows three New York Times reporters as they investigate
the murky past of bioweapons research and grapple with the current
threat of anthrax and other attacks. This website can help students
understand the history and science behind the attacks and give them
a better
understanding of vaccines.
