Amazing Science Sites

Sites that I’ve come across that offer students amazing information about biology and science. Some of these have been used in internet lessons (where students must fill out a worksheet as they browse a site)
New England Aquarium – beautiful site for ocean life information, videos and pictures
Monterey Bay Aquarium – another aquarium site with beautiful exhibits of animals
San Diego Zoo – love this site for animal information and photos, check out the exhibits, it’s almost like being there in person
PBS Nature and PBS Nova - very nice sites with videos and interactive science games
Learn Genetics – comprehensive site covering genetics, DNA, and biotechnology
HHMI Cool Science - Howard Hughs Medical Institute, student and educator site
HHMI Biointeractive - where virtual labs are hosted, labs more appropriate for an AP class
National Geographic – easy to get lost in this huge site, I love showing (and embedding) their videos. So much information..so little time
BBC Science and Nature - lots of exciting things here to explore
Images from the History of Medicine – possibly more interesting to a teacher, mainly a database of old medical images
Nova Evolution – Nova’s new site devoted to evolution; here are the compiled resources for all of Nova’s evolution-related presentations.
