Student Genome Project Web Site!
Welcome to the Student Genome project. It's all about genes and fun: Interactive 2D & 3D worlds, games, tasks and tons of useful stuff for your classes. This site utilizes new web technology including Shockwave and some other cool features. Check it out.

  I invite you to check out the GLOBE Program at www.globe.gov. This program is three years old, being the idea of Vice President Gore. The key concept is that students will make environmental science measurements around the Earth and input these measurements into a central database. Daily visualizations are formed of the global data sets. Let me know what you think. To date we have trained 3,500 teachers and the students have made over 500,000 observations.

Access Excellence, launched in 1993, is a national educational program that provides high school biology teachers access to their colleagues, scientists, and critical sources of new scientific information via the Information Highway.

Access Excellence reflects the company's commitment to improving science education in America.

A colleague and I have been developing a web site to teach about archaeology (as a vehicle for some science). It has on-line activities for kids that are designed to scaffold them in making some of the decisions that archaeologists would make when working a dig.
