Here is a chance to challenge yourself and take the information you learned in class one step further!
 
This is a fun computer game that asks questions about evolution.  Be the first to sink all of the captains ships and YOU WIN !

 
This web site is part of the Franklin Institute.  The creativity link is a great idea to challenge your understanding of living things.  Check out the poetry link for some examples of already published work.  If you are interested in creating an assignment to be published see me and I can help you submit your work to the Franklin Institute. 
 

 
Did you find the microscopes that we used in class interesting?  Here is your chance to make your own.  Talk to you parents/guardians for permission first and then follow the directions.  Good Luck!

Conduct this at home experiment and see your very own DNA right before your eyes!  Get the help and permission of an adult and follow the directions provided. 

 
Can you solve the crime?  DNA profiling can make sense of a crime scene and help I.D the culprit from a list of suspects.  Take the online challenge and test your knowledge.  Good luck !

Search the archives and have your questions answered even after you leave the classroom.  You can also read questions that students from around the country have posted and see the responses.  The MadSci Index on the left asks a question that many of you asked in class the other day...If chlorophyll absorbs all the colors but green why are some plants different colors?
