| We're continually reviewing new sites and adding resources, and appreciate your comments and suggestions. Suggest a link here |
| What your heart is, how it works, and how to keep it healthy form the
topic of this interesting site. There are related enrichment activities,
resources, and a glossary as well. Lots of good information, easy to
use. |
| This online tutorial was designed to teach frog dissection in high
school biology classrooms. Useful in preparation for laboratory
dissection, or even as a replacement for it, the site contains clickable
image maps and Quicktime movies. |
| Available in English and French, IFDN is produced by a New
Brunswick paper company in conjunction with schools and educators in the
region. It’s an easily navigated gold mine of forestry and nature
resources including a glossary, virtual tours, a software toolbox, FAQ
with a chance to ask your question, and more. Don’t miss the
Naturalist’s Notebook of short profiles on local wildlife, with
archives. |
| The Jane Goodall Center is run in partnership with Western Connecticut
State University. This site brings you information about Jane Goodall,
her 35 years of chimpanzee research, the current plight of chimpanzees,
and the awareness and sanctuary work being done by The Jane Goodall
Institute. Don't miss "Chimp Links" to other primate sources
and "Roots and Shoots" for young people who want to make a
difference. |
| Find out why you should care about reefs, the architects, buildings,
and climate. Plus, explore the differences between modern reefs and
Jurassic ones. |
| This site poses and answers a number of fascinating questions, like "can
a spider build a web in zero gravity?" It's a massive space flight
data resource you can spend hours exploring, and it has a challenging "Just
for Kids" section. |
| "A whole lot of a little bit and a little bit of a whole lot."
This page offers links to lots of fun and interesting sites, mainly
about biology and other sciences. |
| This site offers you quick access to zoo facts, directions, and
events, and a very interesting section on the zoo's work in endangered
species and conservation projects. There's also a place for you to ask a
zoo or animal question. |
| Questions and answers on a huge range of scientific topics make this a
great site for information on science. And if you don't find the answer
you're looking for already here, ask a question of the mad scientist of
your choice. |
| The Marine Biological Laboratory, dedicated to the study of sea life,
includes a large database of marine animals and plants, an online
library, and many articles. An excellent resource. |
| There's a ton of excellent and useful information available at this
site...make sure you don't miss the interactive displays about the human
body. |
| This is the classic example and one of the most commonly used
experiments in genetics. See the basics of how alterations in the genes
of fruit flies can cause abnormal wing and head structure and eye and
body color. The only drawback here is that the pictures are drawings,
not actual photographs. |
| Here's everything you always wanted to know about "the most
successful species in the insect world," ants! German author Andre
Schmidt offers science basics, behaviors, pictures, information on
making ant nests, entomology links, and even "ant chat!" |
| You can link from here to hundreds of museums, botanical gardens,
conservation sites, and libraries around the world. Many of these are
truly spectacular. Sources are divided by continent and arranged
alphabetically. |
| The neatest thing about this site is the virtual tour of the aquarium.
Good information on the exhibits, too. |
| This site is dedicated to the study of underwater creatures
including Nudibranchs, Crinoids, and Anemonefish. The author includes
absolutely beautiful photos he took in his years of coral reef diving in
the Philippine Islands, along with interesting information on these
creatures, their habits, and their habitats. |
| This is a no-frills, in-depth presentation of current research on
human genes, followed by opinion on what such research will mean to
disease control in the future. The information is technical, but can be
downloaded and printed for closer reading. |
| This site focuses on donor organs and all the surrounding issues.
Teachers will find lesson ideas and material here relating to organ and
