This well-designed, interactive website features BioLogica, "a hypermodel for teaching high school genetics" that was developed over a four-year period "with support from the National Science Foundation." The site allows the user to try out two Sample Web Labs, and to interact with colorful, artsy 3D models that "show cell structure and function, as well as DNA molecular structure and assembly." Site visitors can download a full version of the Web Lab activities and the BioLogica engine, which are compatible with Macintosh and Windows operating systems. The BioLogica site also contains eesearch results based on studies at six public high schools during the 2000-2001 academic year.
