    crash course in biology

    This site is very interesting and it is something that many students would enjoy. I have allowed my students to view Bozeman Biology on You Tube. However, this site has more resources than I originally thought.

    GREAT website for computer simulation of the inside of a typical cell, how mitochondria function,, and more! The Harvard team puts together great videos to show in class. I use these as a G.A. to show that although the 2D diagrams in the text book are static, in fact the cell is moving constantly. Great resource for the biology classroom.

      Students in schools from all over the world can enter scientific data.  This is a great way to truly integrate technology with education - students can do "real science" and collaborate with their "colleagues" from other countries.  Great for biology, earth science, environmental science, etc.

    I sent my life science kids here to check out a more in depth look at organelles and their functions. A bonus is the great narrator voice. This website has a bunch of fun interactive cell activities, and links to some great videos as well.

IDEA " You make me sick! Online game teaches science to middle schoolers - 1 views

    One of the newest and greatest innovations continues to be video games. In the past, educational games have never quite met expectations, but with grants and contests such as this one, hopefully the games improve and students can learn something while playing video games.

    Wow! This game is very informative and fun. I'm interested to see more games like this. There are way too many educational games that aren't enjoyable. This one hits the mark!

    This looks like a great tool for kids today- especially considering how attached some kids are to games. Children need to know how they get sick and what is going on inside of them when they are sick. One concern I have is that the game may be giving the message that all bacteria are bad and will make them sick. This is a common misconception that has led to the over use of antibiotics and hand sanitizer. Children should be taught that although some bacteria are pathogens, most are not, and they actually help other animals (ie. Humans) carry out every day functions. Bacteria ≠ Pathogen.

    About four years ago, I went to a facility planners conference and they said the most improperly used space in the school is the library. It should not be filled with stacks of books, but it should look more like a media center where you have gaming centers, areas for public wi-fi access and a small section for books, but it would not be the dominant feature of the media center. It would also not close with the school, but be an area that would be open to the general public after hours. We will probably not build another school in Spotsylvania in the next decade, but it will be interesting to see if divisions will be starting to convert what we currently see as a library into something else.

    This is a great site to help students understand relative sizes of things in the universe - it's awesome.

    testing for macromolecules - happy meal
  •  
    I use this same lab to identify macromolecules. However, I use products from the grocery store such as apple juice, egg whites, and cooking oil. We even allow the students to bring different items in order to make it a more inquiry based lab.
