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. |

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! |

This learning tool is called
Simple Stimuli Trigger Fixed Behaviors
and is really quite a nice
lesson on behavior. It has been developed by Sumanas, Inc. |

Sex and
the Single Guppy is a "learning tool" that explores the relationship
between behavior, adaptation, and natural selection. A properly dressed
male guppy stands out. But why are these fish so flashy? For a guppy,
which spends its life swimming among predators, being well camouflaged
could mean the difference between life and death. The PBS produced
Evolution
features this cool tool. Look for the tabs in the lower right after the
interactive loads. |

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. |
