Cell Biology and Genetics
Cell biology focuses on the cell, the building block of life. Biologists in this field study the inner workings of the cell and how they work together as a unit.
Genetics takes a closer look at DNA and how the information on our DNA makes us who we are.
CellCraft is a state of the art game that invites students to delve into the world of the cell, learning about how a cell functions while helping it survive in hostile environments. The student will gain an understanding of important molecules such as glucose and ATP, as well as a variety of cellular organelles, while going through an entertaining story guided by Platypus scientists in need of help. The game encourages students to balance resources and grow a robust cell in order to fight off cold, starvation, and viruses. Can you use your cellular knowledge to grow a super cell and save the Platypus species? Find out by mastering the art of CellCraft!
Cells Alive is a website with a lot of information on cells of all types. There are also interactive games, quizzes, pictures, cell models, and animations for the cell cycle. There is also information on microbiology, immunology, and miscroscopy.
A video of some cell processes. There are wonderful animations of DNA replication and of the cell cycle. This is a great video for a general over view of these two cell processes.
Pearson: Lab Bench Activities
Although this website is formatted for a lab, there are good explanations of many different concepts in biology. It walks you through what's going on with meiosis or enzymes and lets you test your knowledge at the end by taking a quiz.
