It’s Tuesday, March 31, 2015, and time for Science at ClickSchooling!
Recommended Website:
Age Range: 10 and up (Grades 4-12, children with parental supervision)
*Cell Biology – Learn about the structure of plant, animal, and bacterial cells that includes interactive animation of mitosis and meiosis, and a quiz to check your knowledge on cell structure and function.
*Microbiology – Get familiar with viruses, bacteria, and parasites from E.coli to strep to HIV – and take the quiz on microbes.
*Immunology – Don’t miss the anatomy of a splinter, the workings of allergies and mites, making antibodies, and take the quiz on the immune system.
*Microscopy – Get the scoop on the latest techniques for cell imaging and research and visit The Crystal Gallery for some eye-popping microscope images.
You can also examine cell models, view an animation of the cell cycle, watch the “Cell Cams” that let you see in real time how long it takes for cancer cells and bacteria cells to double. Solve some puzzles and take some quizzes too.
You can purchase downloads, but no purchase is necessary to access the free content.
This is a “must see” site for anyone studying the sciences in grades 6 and up. Younger students will find aspects of it interesting too – parents can preview the site to determine which parts will be of the most interest to their kids. Bookmark this site to return often.
