"Practical Biology provides teachers of biology at all levels with experiments that demonstrate a wide range of biological concepts and processes. Each practical may be used alone or as a starting-point for open-ended investigations or enhancement activities, such as clubs or open-day events. Experiments are placed within real-life contexts, with links to carefully selected further reading, enabling teachers to show relevance and illustrate the key principles of How Science Works"

Twelve interactive inquiry-based biology simulations. It is a commercial site, however. Might be worth a look.

This site is designed as a supplement to laboratory dissections exploring introductory mammalian anatomy and physiology - it is basic and many details have been omitted for clarity.  We hope that it is suitable for AP Biology students or for students of introductory anatomy and physiology at the college level. We have revised this site to improve the learning experience and accessibility. Please see the "About" page for more details and contact information. We hope you find it useful and enjoy using it!

"OnlineLabs.in aims to serve as a comprehensive, encyclopedic reference about online labs in a variety of subjects, particularly virtual laboratory simulations for science education. We categorize useful listings for online lab simulations, virtual science experiments and free educational software. We currently feature resources in Chemistry, Physics and Biology to help learners identify free and commercial virtual science labs. We also offer online educational resources and information about simulations and free software in Anatomy, Geology, Astronomy, Design and Math. Through these online resources, you can get hands-on science and math experiences without having to set foot in a physical classroom or laboratory environment."

"for Biology, Environmental Science and Physics. Lots of useful stuff here."

Good collection of high school simulations for science.

Science is awesome. Food is awesome. Blending the two together rocks faces off. Teachers and parents looking for some projects to introduce their students to the basic principles of chemistry, physics, biology and more can easily turn to the kitchen for inspiration. The following experiments vary when it comes to materials, difficulty levels and cost, so read them over thoroughly before making any commitments. Always practice proper safety precautions as well, most especially when tooling around with fire and acids and other lovely things.

The GENIQUEST project is an NSF-funded project of the Maine Mathematics and Science Alliance, The Concord Consortium and The Jackson Laboratory. GENIQUEST aims to bring current bioinformatics concepts and research techniques to secondary science students. In GENIQUEST, we integrate innovative approaches in science instruction from MMSA, data sets and genetics research knowledge from the Jackson Laboratories and a robust genetics modeling environment from the Concord Consortium into an intriguing biology computing environment that spurs student investigation and inquiry."

Cool animation where you have to choose the proper bases and sugars to build different nucleotides. Most appropriate for AP Biology or college level.

simple, easy to understand biology animations covering many topics such as hydrogen bonding between water molecules, the fluidity of the cell membrane, protein folding, channels used in membrane transport (gated versus non-gated), motor proteins, and much more

A photographic explanatory tour of a pig's anatomy during a dissection.

Good for starters and revision

Martin Burrett 20 Feb 12 02:30:23 An amazing science site with a large number of magnificent animations and graphics to help you explain science principles. Content suitable for older students.

At Visionlearning, we've developed a set of peer-reviewed materials for learning science including modular readings, interactive multimedia, and a glossary - all available for free on the web in both English and Spanish. In our readings, we emphasize science as a process, not just a collection of facts. These resources can be used individually by anyone and can also be combined and customized within online classrooms by teachers. For more information, follow one of these paths into our site:

"The Biodiversity Heritage Library (BHL) is a consortium of 12 natural history and botanical libraries that cooperate to digitize and make accessible the legacy literature of biodiversity held in their collections and to make that literature available for open access and responsible use as a part of a global "biodiversity commons."
