This site was created by GE to teach students about the science, technology, math, and history of light. This would work very well in our science unit about heat and light. There are areas that students can read about light, hands on activities, and experiments. For my second graders, many of the readings would need to be done together, but there are also some interactive timelines and animations that students could check out on their own. The hands on activities and experiments would also be fun to bring in to the classroom, and are probably what I would use the most. The only downfall of this site is that the link to the "school lighting challenge" is currently not working. I'd be interested in checking this out if it gets up and running.

nice site to reference from, we cover light in media when we introduce cameras, so its nice to have some visuals as well

This is a large site having sections on DNA, genetics, heredity, and cells.  There are interactives, paper and pencil activities, animations, and much more.

This site has some excellent resources for high school biology students. There are tutorials for several areas to reinforce classroom teaching. Students can practice on their own making DNA molecules and transcribing and transating DNA and RNA strands, creating their own karyotypes, and more. The interactive features on the site are great nonlinguistic tools for students who are struggling or need practice with biology basics.
