Lots of biology concepts animations

Great animations of ATP synthase, the electron transport chain, protein modification, photosystems, photosynthesis, transcription, and much more.

Nice range of scientific animations

Lots of great science animations. Examples include independent assortment, evolution of cellular organelles, mitosis, cellular respiration, reflex arcs, construction of a DNA library. Also includes chemistry and astronomy animations. Great stuff.

Macaulay's library of free audio/video/images of animals which can be browsed by taxonomy or species. A great Biology resource.

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

animated overview of cell biology fundamentals

In-depth interactive walkthrough of cellular respiration. Easy to use. Suggested level on the website says high school, but it is very detailed--more appropriate for AP Biology or college level biology (or even biochemistry) courses.

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

This site offers a growing bank of imaginative, highly visual teaching-aids developed for use with interactive whiteboards. The resources are designed to be used as rich sources of visually stimulating material, making use of both animations and drag and drop interactivity. One example: Try Biology. There are some drag and drop labeling activities for the IWB.

An easy to use site aimed at young children and shows information and images of 15 different animals. http://ictmagic.wikispaces.com/Science

Awesome collection of downloadable cell animations.

A whiteboard resources for labelling to major parts of an animal and plant cell. http://ictmagic.wikispaces.com/Science

Many school age children use hermit crabs in science fair projects for a biology-based exhibit. Most projects require a few weeks of research before the actual fair, since crabs move slowly and need to be observed over a period of time before significant change happens

Series of educational videos, basic biology

Cool site from PBS offering information on the different animal phyla. Also has activities and videos.

A beautfully made science resource for exploring the different parts of animal, plants and bacterial cells. http://ictmagic.wikispaces.com/science

"Inspired by content from the upcoming PBS series EARTH A New Wild, the Ecosystem Explorer is a collection of videos, games, and infographics designed to take students deep into the ecosystems of three thrilling animals: vultures, wolves, and sharks. Use the related videos highlighted below to introduce each ecosystem and discover that the relationship between animals and humans is often much more complicated than we realize. Then, encourage students to play through the interactive and discover more exciting science about the ecology and conservation of these three worlds."
