This project is part of "EDST 667/Using the Internet for Curriculum Applications" at the University of Delaware. The project is designed to assist biology students and instructors in finding resources in biology on the internet. The original design has college biology laboratories in mind, but it is quite useful for high school students and teachers as well (I plan to use it myself when teaching high school biology). The layout of the page directs students to plant, animal, and general biology resources by clicking on the appropriate topic. Each of the Plant and Animal sections is further divided into References and Activities. The References section directs students to resources on selected topics, whereas the Activities section is a place for special supplements to the laboratory sessions, which may include helpful applications, pictures, or assignments. The General Biology Info section is a sort of catch-all reference section and a place to find instructions, updates on the labwork, and other pertinent information. I plan to first direct students to this General Biology Info section when they enter the page; here they can find updates, directions, and information to get them started on a project or assignment.
A good feature of this project is that it is designed to get a person where he or she wants to go--it is topic-oriented for easy direction. There's some good stuff here. However, there are seemingly infinite links to a world of information. I can only direct you generally to where you want to go; you must follow your own particular path to find the information you are seeking (you may have many diversions on your way). In this respect, I feel that I can improve on this work by subsequently adding more specific topical resources as I find them. The pages can always use additions--better links are yet to be found.
It is my hope that you will find this work a helpful source of information. Happy surfing!

I would really like to acknowledge Neill Wenger for his gracious input of time and advice. This project would never have been undertaken without him. He has helped me to travel to places I never dreamed of going to before.
