Also appropriate for junior college and lower division college labs." Teaching materials are divided into sections: Core Lab, Primary Labs, Support Lessons, Information, Curiosity, and Extended Research. Several animations, available in bilingual versions, illustrate lab procedures and developmental processes. Other learning tools include overheads, glossary, references, skills required, and safety considerations. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=86691 This is a portal page for information on the embryology of sea urchins and how to use them for student labs. It provides everything an instructor needs to set up and run a lab on sea urchin development. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=90957 This site is intended to provide useful learning resources to students studying developmental biology and in particular focuses on the structure of vertebrate embryos. Labelled serial sections of frog and chick embryos are provided as well as additional resources likely to be useful in the study of developmental biology including an introduction to histology and histogenesis. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=291702 Highwire facilitates access to over 1.1 million full text scholarly articles on medical/biomedical topics. Most journal titles covered include back issues older than 12-24 months. This website features images/graphics and links to related material. For more information on Highwire (Stanford University) go to:http://highwire.stanford.edu/lists/freeart.dtl http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=81101 Offers web-based instructional modules based on cutting-edge scientific discoveries. Topics include cell biology & cancer, infectious diseases, human genetic variation, sleep disorders, neurobiology & addiction, chemicals & the environment, alcohol, the brain & hearing, the mouth & tooth decay. Most modules are for middle & high school. Each includes inquiry-based activities & extensive background materials. Each was field tested by teachers. (NIH) http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=299697 PubMed provides access to over 11 million citations from the U.S. National Library of Medicine and other related databases. Links to selected online journals, some freely available, are also included. Updated monthly. Covers 1960s to present. Some citations are in French, Portugese, or Spanish.

Also includes videos of adult and larval behavior, techniques, a couple of 4D videos that let you move up or down through the embryo while it develops, and links to databases of mutant phenotypes. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=78509 Flybrain contains neuroanatomical peer reviewed descriptions of the central and peripheral nervous system of Drosophila melanogaster . At the 'entry level' of the 'Atlas', the user will find a hypertext tour guide to the basic structure of the nervous system. Deeper levels will contain more specific information concerning different anatomical structures, developmental stages, and visualization techniques. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=328318 Brain circuit reveals fish can control ballads to create similar sounds to that of birds and frogs.
