Science is in everyday life. Whether someone is eating their
breakfast or looking at plants, science can be linked to
everything. This website will help to enhance people's interest
for science through related links having to do with all areas of
science. It will also include interesting websites where you will
be able to do things including dissect a frog - virtually of course.
I. Biology and Anatomy II. Chemistry III. Physics IV. Earth and Space V. Environmental Science |
BIOLOGY AND ANATOMY
 | Biology, the study of life, is a broad field covering everything from the little chemical machines inside our cells to the broad scale of theories about the ecosystem and global climate changes. As a major component in the MHS science curriculum, the faculty covers all areas of Biology including cells, genes, evolution, the scientific method, and current issues. Listed below are links related to Biology. |

- Download clips and find out microscope techniques Virtual Frog Dissection - A great site where you are able to virtually dissect a frog The Biology Project - Site dedicated to the different subdivisions of Biology Living Things - Biology Resources - See how Biology is Used in Everyday Life Genetics Virtual Library - Links and research to interesting Genetic Facts All About Evolution - See where evolution is taking us Ask a Biologist - Great site to answer Biology questions Ask a Biologist(Scientific American) - Another good ask a professional site Neuroscience for Kids - Great site to learn about the nervous system and brain Human Anatomy Online - Very comprehensive and graphical site on the human body National Library of Medicine - Great reference for any medical questions |
CHEMISTRY
| Chemistry, the science that systematically studies the composition, properties, and activity of organic and inorganic substances, should become a focus to everyone. As one of the most used sciences today, Chemistry is the study that connects the everyday world to the molecular world. In this subject, one learns how to break down substances, combine substances to make more complex ones, and also devise methods to help change the way we feel. Listed below are links related to Chemistry to help one understand the different fields related to Chemistry as well as fun interactive sites to help you memorize important chemical compounds. |

PHYSICS
 | Physics, the science of the properties, changes, and interactions of matter, is a different science compared to Biology and Chemistry. In Physics, one learns how different sources of energy are used and constructed. As a very broad subject, Physics is broken down into many branches which include Classical Physics, Quantum Physics, Atomic Physics, Nuclear Physics, and Solid State Physics. Listed below are links related to all the physics branches to help enhance your particular Physics interest. |
