The name of this collection of "learning tools" is called Behavior. Students learn about mammal behavior and even have a chance to play the interactive Chimp Challenge. This site is brought to us by the bbc.co.uk , a leader in science education. |

Build-A-Fish is a learning tool provided by MARE. Students must build a fish whose adaptations make it suited to its ocean environment. Students first choose from a selection of six ocean habitats, then select body parts and coloration that they think are suited to that environment. |

The name of this "learning tool" is called Pavlov's Dog. In this game, you will find out if you can train a dog to drool on command! Ivan Pavlov's description on how animals (and humans) can be trained to respond in a certain way to a particular stimulus, has drawn much interest ever since he first presented his findings. His work paved the way for a new and objective method of studying animal and human behavior. This comes to us from nobelprize.org, a very creative site! |

Challenging, elegant, and very special. Ariel Dolan has created eFloys. They are territorial, have an individual personality, and the ability to evolve. This will take your biology students a little time to master, but once they have it, they will learn a life long lesson on behavior, evolution, and natural selection. This one you need to read the instructions! Visit Ariel Dolan's Artificial Life and Other Experiments to see other cool interactives. |

The name of this "learning tool" is called Interdependence and Adaptation. Use the blue arrows in the upper right hand corner to go through the simulation. This tool has been developed by the bbc.co.uk and their Science Clips program. These are very clear, concise, and effective lessons for young students. Flash is required. |
