Science Progresses - Glasses for the Colourblind

If you know of anyone in your life who is red-green colour blind, have a look at this. I had a student last year who was in my remedial mathematics class ... until he started wearing a similar product. He was out of my class in two months. This video is from a brand called EnChroma glasses, and the story and science behind their development is fascinating.

Science Posters

Okay, thought I'd dig these out of the digital attic. The following are links to two science posters I made some time ago.

Biovisions

These are some great biology videos from Harvard University.

Biovisions - Inner Life of a Cell
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wJyUtbn0O5Y

Biovisions - Powering the Cell: Mitochondria
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RrS2uROUjK4

and a lot more available at:
http://multimedia.mcb.harvard.edu/media.html

The Youtube versions are better for a projector screen than the ones you can get on the Harvard site. (Larger and clearer).


Inner Life of a Cell is a great way to introduce cell parts, either for juniors and seniors.

Cellcraft - A Cell Organelle Game

The following link is to a wonderful resource for teaching functions of cellular organelles - I consider it to be appropriate for juniors and an intro for seniors.
