It consists of descriptions of bones, cartilage, ligaments, joints, and classifications of bones. It also displays radiologic anatomy of various bones with the x-ray images included. Gastrointestinal System Anatomy http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=710780 This website contains a learning activity that enables the student to click on the parts of the system to learn where they are located. At the end of the activity the student can then try to match the name to the part to test their knowledge. Human Skeletal System http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=709008 This website allows you to attach the correct name of each bone to its location. It helps decrease the amount of time it takes to label each bone. An Introduction to Endangered Species http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=658794 Introduce students to the concept of endangered species through a fun game of Endangered Species Bingo. Weed to Wonder: sequencing, hybridization and transposons in maize http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=515513 ״Weed to Wonder" provides a variety of media (podcasts, animation, live-action videos and text) to introduce concepts such as genomic sequencing, hybridization and transposons. While focusing primarily on the elucidation of the maize genome, the site provides accurate and thorough explanations of generalized sequencing techniques such as Sanger, BAC library construction, and capillary sequencing. Particularly useful is a "hands-on experiment" page in which educators will find lesson plans and information for in-class labs on Mendelian inheritance and detecting a transposon. A year of 8th grade science with Bill McWeeny http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=420403 An editorial of what this teacher does throughout his year as a 8th grade science teacher. POLYVIEW-3D http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=393350 This site will generate a colored view of a protein molecule for insertion into a paper or presentation. Can also create an animated gif of the 3-D structure rotating or zooming in or out.
