Collection of live animal cams

Can't make it to a zoo? Observe animal habits and habitats using one of the many webcams broadcasting from zoos and aquariums around the United States and the world in this inquiry-based activity that focuses on observation logs, class discussion, questioning, and research. Students begin by viewing an animal webcam, making observations, and describing what they see in a notebook or log.

Students explore the genetic changes associated with lactose tolerance/intolerance and how the trait is inherited in families.

Educational video TED-Ed series explores scientific reasoning (or lack of) behind six superpowers

Introduces case studies to students in order to help them master science,technology, engineering, and math (STEM) courses.

California's Tech Museum of Innovation: engineering-design lab lesson plans, uses available materials and explores electromagnetism, solar energy, force and motion, chemical properties, engineering and earthquakes, genetics. Mostly targeted at middle school levels.

Welcome to the Virtual Cardiology Lab. The focus of this lab is on heritable diseases of the heart. You are cast here as a virtual intern to accompany a doctor examining three different patients. Each patient is examined, using more than one diagnostic tool, and at each stage, the doctor will invite you to examine the patient yourself and ask for your opinion.

"Students will build a lung model to learn how their lungs and diaphragm work to make them breathe. The lesson features a demonstration on how incomplete combustion of fossil fuels releases particles into the air that can negatively affect human health, and how we can protect ourselves from these effects."

"Lesson from TeachEngineering.org. Contributed by the Techtronics Program, Pratt School of Engineering, Duke University. Note: This activity, part of a teachengineering curricular unit on Engineering and the Human Body that includes a lesson on the heart, could be enhanced with two preliminary heart-valve activities - Engineering the Heart and Saving a Life: Valve replacement"

"Preparing the students of today to become productive citizens of the future requires our educational system to promote life-long learners who are able to work together to solve realistic problems and develop a basic understanding of the natural and humanly modified world around them. Information presented in a familiar and mind-engaging context leads to greater understanding and retention, as compared to memorization of facts in isolation. Research indicates that retention is greatest when students are actively engaged, put their knowledge into immediate practice, and become "teachers" of other students. Children's Engineering activities directly address these issues."
