"Molecular Workbench (MW) provides visual, interactive computational experiments for teaching and learning science. Hundreds of Free Simulations Explore physics, chemistry, biology, biotechnology, and nanotechnology with interactive simulations."

"Materials Science and Engineering major, with concentrations offered in Biomaterials and Nanotechnology. As expected, the program provided a solid grounding in what materials science really is. Students explore materials from the atomic level all the way through crystal structures, multiphase systems, and bulk properties. You'll have an opportunity to learn why objects' matter matters. You'll explore the details of why glass shatters, metal bends, and rubber bounces back-and that's just in one class on mechanical properties. If you're more interested in how the circuits in your computer are fabricated, or why hip replacements are made of titanium instead of aluminum, you won't even have to go looking for courses in other departments. Materials Science is one of the most fundamental, and therefore most interdisciplinary, fields that exists today. In many core classes, you'll find more students from other majors than from the department itself."

Interactive Science Simulations Fun, interactive, research-based simulations of physical phenomena from the PhET project at the University of Colorado.

"Do you want to take your middle-school science students on a field trip without breaking the budget? Wish you had an alternative? Purdue zipTrips™ is the answer!! These free electronic field trips will bring a new experience in science education directly to your school."

" The BioDigital Human is an HTML5 bases platform for medicine and healthcare. Using 3-D, Web-GL visualization the BioDigital Human serves as an interactive tool for medical students to access complex human anatomy in a simple web browser. The surgical and disease-state animations embedded into the interface provide an interactive visual-aid for medical device and pharmaceutical sales reps to explain medical concepts to healthcare practitioners. As anatomical landmarks are paired with embedded education, instructive and training information, the BioDigital Human is the most intuitive way for data groups to organize and navigate medical information.

In Crazy Plant Shop, students learn about plant genetics by taking on the role of a budding (pun intended) young botanist who operates a plant shop that specializes in rare and exotic breeds of plants! "

How to Play: In this activity, there are two kinds of bugs: green ones and orange ones. These bugs live in leafy green trees. Every now and then, birds swoop in and eat the bugs. They usually eat the bugs they can see from a distance. Near the forest is a factory. The factory spews out lots of orange chemical smoke. When the chemicals fall on the trees, they turn orange.
