Today the medical field has really benefited from technology, and rightly so since technology and science are so intertwined. With the web at their fingertips they have answers to research, animations & simulations for use in trainings, and access to the technology tool itself to assist in their jobs.
When looking for science resources for your students the web offers many multi-media resources for your use.
Take a look at DNA From the Beginning, an animated primer on the basics of DNA, genetics, and heredity. It contains key concepts students need know to understand DNA, an image gallery, animations, audio and video snippets, and short biographies of those who have pioneered the field.
Then check out Inside Cancer: Multimedia Guide to Cancer Biology, an interactive, multimedia site that provides insight into the disease, prevention, diagnosis and treatment.
This award-winning site provides video interviews with cancer experts and Pathways to Cancer provides action-packed animations that visually walk visitors through the biology of a cancer cell.
Sites like these provide resources for students to extend their learning outside the four walls and outside class time.
*Flash Player and QuickTime required to view these sites.
