The resources listed here are particularly for biology. You should also look at the general Science resources.

Biology Online - A source for biological information, ideal for homework, research projects and general interest, with hundreds of related biology sites on the web. The site is divided into three sections: Dictionary, Tutorials and Biology on the Web.

Biology in Motion - Interactive, multimedia activities to teach basic biology concepts e.g. evolution or cell division.

Earth Today - 'The ability to see Earth from space has forever changed our view of the planet. We are now able to look at the Earth as a whole, and observe how its atmosphere, oceans, landmasses, and life interact as global systems. Earth's atmosphere, hydrosphere, geosphere, and biosphere are dynamic, changing on timescales of days, minutes, or even seconds. Monitoring the Earth in near real time allows us to get an up to date picture of conditions on our planet.'

Visible Human Server - The Visible Human Server at the EPFL (Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne)... offers a virtual anatomic construction kit on the web using the Visible Human dataset. Registration is required to access this site.
