Exploring Biology

This Web site, produced by the Howard Hughes Medical Institute, provides hands-on science activities for elementary-school students. It uses animation, sound, quizzes, and other techniques to encourage kids to explore biology. Activities include building a model of a butterfly emerging from a cocoon and identifying which parts of plants belong in the family salad bowl.
