This site makes finding the major and finer structures of the brain easy. The intuitive layout lets the user go through the brain, slice by slice, to reveal actual MRI data and drawn pictures that are clearly labeled to indicate surface and subcortical structures. You can zoom in on actual microscope pictures to reveal cells in the brain and see detailed pictures of how they connect. The detailed pictures use horizontal axis (top of brain to bottom), coronal axis (front to back), and sagittal axis (side to side) scans so that you are able to develop a picture of a three dimensional map of the human brain, in your mind. One of the hardest things to picture when I first began researching about the anatomy of the human brain, was picturing where all the subcortical structures were positioned in relation to each other. By using the many informative anatomical and chemical maps, I was able to clear up the issues I had had with trying to visualize a three dimensional model. This source is very reliable, as it uses real images for the slices you see as you navigate the brain. This source also comes from the University Institut für Anatomie, so the data was observed first hand there, making it reliable. I will be using this information that I have gathered to add to my brain portfolio document, and will be a useful tool if I decide to make a three dimensional model of the brain.

Fotobabble is a free service that allows you to quickly turn a picture into an audio picture story. To use Fotoabble just upload an image to the site, and allow the site to access your computer's microphone, and start recording your voice. You can comment on your photo, explain what's happening in your photo, or tell a story related to your photo. When you've completed your recording you can save it in your Fotobabble account, contribute to a public gallery and or embed it into your blog. Have students upload images from lab experiments or field trips and then talk about them. Have student define vocabulary words and offer images. Have students describe an image of a painting or some other piece of art.

This website was very helpful when I was taking the Digital Photo class. It has a lot of different tutorials on ways you can make your picture look better. You can make a photo look old or take something away from a photo that you don't really like. It is a great way to make your picture better and higher quality.

Summarize: The main points of the Environmental Biology website is to show the five main nutrient cycles: nitrogen, oxygen, carbon, phosphorus and water and how energy flows through ecosystem. The topics covered include: ~the roles of an organism (such as a consumer, herbivores, etc.) ~energy flow through an ecosystem ~food chains and webs/ pyramids and biological magnification ~Humans vs. natural food chains This article goes through the basics of ecology and is very easy to understand. There are pictures of the cycles that relate to the reading. Review and access: This is a wonderful source because it includes all the different nutrient cycles as well as pictures and writing. It also brings up many concepts: bio magnification, the different roles of an organism and human vs. natural food chain. This website doesn't go in depth in a specific part of ecology, but is instead a basic and broad overview of the whole thing. Most websites either only talk about food chains or nutrient cycles, yet this website includes it all. This website is reliable, because I have compared it to other websites and classwork. I would recommend using this website when learning basic ecology or just refreshing your mind because a lot of simple concepts are mentioned. This article won't take long to read, because everything is pretty broad. Reflect: This source was helpful for me when refreshing my knowledge on the water cycle and learning about the oxygen and nitrogen cycle. I have used this site as a notes resource for the ecology unit in my biology class. This site has helped me to better understand the different cycles, the movement of energy through an ecosystem and food chains vs. food webs. ~Riley

The Holocaust Memorial site is organized into four different sections: Museum Information, Resources for Academics and Research, Resources for Educators and Resources for Professionals and Student Leaders. This site was created so that people could learn about the Holocaust and look at pictures of the museum without actually being there. The United States Holocaust Memorial Museum was very helpful for me during my VHS Holocaust Course because it includes timelines, facts, videos, artifacts, a tour of the ghettos and concentration camps and pictures from the museum. This is the best website that I have found on the Holocaust, it has everything. Also the Holocaust Memorial website is very reliable because I have checked it with other sites and it was used by my teacher (we went on to tour the camps and look up videos). I would definitely recommend this source to anyone who wants to learn about the Holocaust, knows little about the Holocaust or who wants to go to the Museum.

This website gives a lot of information in an overview format of the brain and the nervous system, brain tests, and treatments. Also listed are a few brain conditions (ie. headaches, aneurysms, etc). At the bottom of the website are many other similar resources for further research. This is a reliable and useful source because upon checking the sources I found that the information is written by doctors. This source was very helpful in terms of hindering a basic understanding of the brain. The diagram is helpful in visualizing the different parts of the brain.

This new article is about methane gas released through one of Saturn's moon titans. I didn't know what a moon titan was so I clicked on the lick that took me to a Wikipedia article. I told me that is the largest of Saturn's moons that is much like earth. It contains stable liquid on its surface and is made of rock like earth. After a small probe took a picture of the moon titan the scientists came to the conclusion that hydrocarbon ethane instead of Methane must be a majority of the lake. This is because he liquids evaporate much more slowly than normal methane.
