To teach art, let a student paint; to teach driving, let a student drive a car; to teach science, let a student do an experiment. The Johnson Explorations require the Macromedia Shockwave 7 Player be installed on your system. WOW Biolab. McGraw-Hill Virtual Biology Lab. Virtuallabs.html.

West Nile virus infects mosquitoes, birds, and people—with very different consequences. Lactose tolerance, sickle cell anemia, and bitter taste perception are three examples of recently evolved human traits. Lactase persistence results from a mutation that changes how transcription factors interact, thereby affecting gene expression. This survey, developed by Horne and Ostberg, will let you determine if you are a morning or an evening person. Answer the questions in this online quiz to test your knowledge of what determines the sex of a human, a fruit fly, and a snapping turtle. Paleoanthropology provides an excellent example of the scientific process at work. Learn about the nature of vector-borne diseases, and the life cycle of the dengue vector mosquito.
Learn why verifying a person's gender may be harder than you think. The Virtual Lab Series. BioInteractive’s virtual labs have won several awards, including top honors in the Pirelli INTERNETional Award competition, which recognizes the best multimedia products designed to use the Internet to educate about science and technology.
Designed in close consultation with educators and scientists, these virtual labs are fully interactive biomedical laboratory simulations and provide students with skills and techniques used in scientific research. BioInteractive’s series of virtual labs allows students to examine heart patients, analyze DNA sequences, probe the nervous system of a leech, use human antibodies to diagnose disease, and measure physical traits of stickleback fish and anole lizards to examine key concepts in evolution. Each lab provides an interactive environment in which students perform experiments and collect their data, and answer questions to assess their understanding.

Living, Non-living vs. Dead Lab. Part 1 (Living-Nonliving Part 2) I have found that it is worth spending two full class periods on a lab that challenges students' preconceptions of what it means to be alive!
I designed this lab years ago, and it remains a favorite of mine. A free student handout is available at the end of this article. The day before lab day (may only need a 1/2 class period) we brainstorm qualities that living things must have. At this point I just let students list a bunch of things on the board, and I don't filter them at all.
