Carrefour Biodidac Home Page
This site, maintained at the University of Ottawa, serves as a “bank of digital resources for teaching biology.”
Center for Molecular Modeling
Developed by the Division of Computational Bioscience at NIH, if as an individual you wanted to find everything you could to begin to learn molecular modeling, this is the place to start.
Chi-Square Lesson
Chi-Square is one of the more used statistical techniques in biology.
Dennis Kunkel's Microscopy
Dennis Kunkel has assembled a collection of micrographs based on SEM, TEM, and LM. The high quality images are categorized into twelve groups including: algae, arachnids, medical, protozoans and viruses.
The Dihydrogen Monoxide Homepage

The Institute for Genomic Research—TIGR
LibrarySpot - Encyclopedias, Maps, Libraries, and More
LibrarySpot is an extremely useful metasite. Advertising itself as “a free virtual library resource center for educators and students, librarians and their patrons, families”, it does carry commercial advertising.
Molecular Expressions: Images from the Microscope
Molecular Models for Biochemistry
This site is maintained by William McClure of the Department of Biological Sciences at Carnegie Mellon. It has tutorials and quizzes that support the following topics: small molecules, amino acids, proteins, molecular biology and metabolic pathways.
Molecules from Chemistry at Okanagan University College
The site has over 1400 chemicals represented in three dimensions. This is an excellent place to find an organic molecule you may have always wanted to see rotate in 3-D.
National Center for Science Education
The NCSE represents a “clearinghouse for information and advice to keep evolution in the science classroom and ‘scientif- ic creationism’ out.”
The Online Molecular Museum
Science Functional Genomics
