Asks questions throughout to get the user to be interactive while they are learning the material. Goes into some depth about internal and external respiration. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=757869 Interactive game that explains how nerves receive and send signals in the nervous system. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=757763 VIROLAB is a virology lab simulation. It is aimed at learning medical students how to identify genetical defects in a virus population and providing solutions to allows it's growth. To achieve this, a fully equipped laboratory is available. Link to external sources is, of course, provided for each topic.The tool is written in Flash. It is accessible with a browser. The website link is written in French, but it can be translated to English. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=757734 Functionality is the essence which biomimics seek to emulate from nature, for example how the structure of gecko feet allow it to climb walls without using glue or how termite mounds regulate temperature without external energy. In this game, students learn about the processes of evolution, natural selection and ultimately, how adaptation leads to functionally advantageous design. Theoretically, students will be competing for food while using the concept of adaptation. In this activity, students will modify a piece of paper each round and try to reach a target in the fewest number of throws. Reaching the target in fewer throws illustrates the process of refinement through generations of time and aids in survival for the organism. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=757335 An activity with a power point framework that gives the history of the use of the atomic bomb in World War II and asks students to create arguments for and against its use. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=755931 Webquest que trabaja el tema de como poder comunicarse gracias al uso de las TIC, destinado para 1° medio en el sector de historia, geografía y ciencias sociales del currículum chileno http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=754562 Touch Fraction: (Android interactive fraction)About fractions, and the construction of the rational numbers.Fractions: Interactive app.Select equivalent fractions with the rational representation diagram.(video as support material in the mirror link)Nummolt construction toys:http://www.nummolt.com http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=754071 A sample inbox exercise to use for assessing decison making in upper level undergraduate courses. Modifiable for other levels and for professional use. A simulation tool for students to test their abilities to prioritize, make justifiable decisions, and learn from practical situations. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=752409 A very basic display of the respiratory system. Helps the student understand the basics of breathing and can see how the diaphragm and lungs work during inhalation and exhalation.
