In this virtual experiment you will isolate some DNA from a human test subject. An interactive whiteboard lesson (including pretest) on the life cycle of the butterfly. This activity recreates an experiment that can be difficult to carry out in the classroom because of the expense and mess. Students test the sinking time of a ball in measuring cylinders of familiar but different liquids. They then graph their results an In this game you have to blood type each patient and give them a blood transfusion. Are you able to do that? If not, try reading the introduction. Illusions deceive and entertain us. They also give us clues to show how our brain and sense really work. Try these illusions and test your senses. Click on the cards to learn more about each animal. Note: You don't have to register to play. Do you think you can put a food chain together? This world in which we live, the universe that comprises our world. In order to better understand them, humans have assigned to them the concept of "size" so they may be comprehended by all. Nevertheless there are actually very few things that we can see Not interactive but pretty informative. QuickTime animations of trips to a couple of undersea trenches. In this laboratory, you found the hieroglyphics of an ancient Egyptian scientist that describe 10 types of living things. However, his classification system is not the same as ours. Use his descriptions to identify what modern kingdom each of these 10 typ How does your body digest certain foods? Use this Flash animation to find out. The way a fish looks has a lot to do with its habitat. Some body shapes or colourations work better in one habitat than another. Differences in body shape or colourations that help an animal survive and thrive in a habitat are called adaptations. In this Planet 10 is an interactive virtual model of our Solar System. You can explore the planets, comets and asteroids on an interactive virtual fly-through or build your own world. Use the clue to discover which element the computer picked. Be careful! Each incorrect letter you guess causes the atom man to decay. Find the element's name before the atom man decays completely! See what color combinations you can make using different coloured lights or pigments. Animated review notes followed by an interactive activity. This animation demonstrates the stages of mitosis in an animal cell. Along with the animation you will see actual microscopic pictures of the event. Dive into Secrets at Sea and see if you can solve the mystery. There are four different mysteries to solve and a code to crack. [|my|del.icio.us]

Just in time for Valentine's Day is "Habits of the Heart". Find the heart with a virtual stethoscope, see the flow of blood to and from the heart and more. Explore this virtual kitchen and perform online experiments to solve a puzzle and get a reward. A common device which makes use of the Bernoulli principle is the aspirator. We'll bet you didn't think such a device could remove enough air so that the atmospheric pressure would crush a 55 gallon drum! Watch the video and see for yourself. Drag the photos of clouds onto the correct name for that cloud. Learn about electric circuits with the Blobz in this interactive site. Discover the secrets of everyday stuff. Crush stuff! Transform stuff! Zoom inside stuff! Improve stuff! Play the Wild Weather Adventure game. Your weather research blimp will explore Earth and its weather. With luck, skill, and strategy, you will race other weather research blimps to be first to travel all the way around the world and win the game. Use this animation to compare the relative sizes of cells and organisms sitting on a pinhead. Browse through the links here and you'll find some of Steve's most popular science videos from his weekly television segments over the past year. In an exclusive interview with Science@NASA, Santa discusses his plans for Christmas on future space colonies.

This website was created as an exhibit for the Museum of Boston Science Center. It allows the user to create their own virtual fish using a few simple variables and watch how this determines their behavior in the online tank. This page is intended to provide an accurate and realistic online planetarium for free. Please note that this site may be under construction. This site offers large, high-resolution 360 degree panoramas created from photos taken from past missions to the moon.
