A benefit of using activities from Cold Spring Harbor is the possibility of students actually visiting the center in the future and being able to make real-life connections. |

| Added: 12/02/2010 I love the availibility of new learning materials for the teacher. This would be a great source for me to keep myself updated during a genetics and/or ecology unit. Additionally, it's would be a great source for students who want to learn more. |

| Added: 12/02/2010 This can be used as both assessment or pre-assessment for students. It's a great review for them to make sure they know their information before a test. Additionally, the "fun" aspect of it can help students compete and learn in different ways than reading from a textbook. |

| Added: 12/02/2010 This is a great resource for both me and the students during a nervous system unit. Neuroscience is my personal favorite area of biology, so I love the project ideas available here. The real-life connections that students can make on this site would also be helpful. I would probably assign looking at this site as homework. |
