Virtual Courseware for Inquiry-based Science Education
The Virtual Courseware Project produces interactive, online simulations for the life science laboratory or for earth science field studies.
Digital Library for Earth System Education
The Digital Library for Earth System Education (DLESE) is a distributed community effort involving educators, students, and scientists working together to improve the quality, quantity, and efficiency of teaching and learning about the Earth system at all levels.
GeneBoy
“GeneBoy is the application creator's genetic version of a "GameBoy." It is an interactive science tool of variations that can be made with gene sequencing. To use the site, select a sequence from the left side of the GeneBoy, or use the "your sequence" button to copy and paste your own sequence into the application. To copy the original sequence, press clone on the bottom of the screen. The sequence can then be analyzed or manipulated through the tools on the right.”
The Physics Classroom
There are tutorials with diagrams and funny drawings to help simplify
difficult physics concepts. Animations of downhill skiers and roller
coasters will help students understand concepts such as momentum and
work.
The PubChem Project
PubChem is a search tool for chemical information, divided into three areas: Compounds, Substances, and BioAssays.
Directory of open access journals (DOAJ)

Solar Symphony Game
“This visually exciting site offers both background information on the planets and a unique way for students to remember the order of the planets. To play the game, students hit the letter key that corresponds to the beginning letter of the planet name whenever the planet, rotating around the sun, hits the "hot zone." The music, flashing lights, planetary movement, and other effects make this activity extremely engaging. Students will love the excitement of this game so much they will not even know they are learning something! This site is up to date (Pluto is not included). Gustav Holst’s famous composition, The Planets serves as the musical accompaniment! T
CSI: The Experience - Web Adventures
There are three adventures: Rookie Training, Canine Caper, and Burning Star. In each activity, the student learns about forensics by virtually completing many of the tasks that forensic scientists do. Additionally, students experience the process of scientific inquiry as they have to collect evidence, ask the right people the right questions, and use the information they’ve gathered to generate conclusions and theories.
Integrated Taxonomic Information System
ITIS, the Integrated Taxonomic Information System! Here you will find authoritative taxonomic information on plants, animals, fungi, and microbes of North America and the world.
Catalogue of Life
ITIS Catalogue of Life is planned to become a comprehensive catalogue of all known species of organisms on Earth
BioLib
BioLib is an international encyclopedia of plants, fungi and animals.
Apart from taxonomic system you can visit our gallery, glossary, vernacular names dictionary, database of links and literature, systems of biotopes, discussion forum and several other functions related to biology.
