GenScope http://copernicus.bbn.com/genscope/index.html This Web site is part of a project sponsored by the National Science Foundation that is developing educational software for teaching biology -- the GenScope project. This site is useful as a tool for locating resources related to biology, including examples of software, images and other medical and biological Web servers. GenScope introduces a hypermodel that uses the computer to bridge the gap between a model and the physical world. Free software is downloadable to allow teachers to participate in the project. The project is interactive. GenScope links six distinct levels of biological organization: The DNA Level; The Cell Level; The Chromosome Level; The Organism Level; The pedigree level, and The Population Level. Thus, the program can be used to teach a wide variety of topics (e.g., molecular biology, cellular biology, evolution) making it possible for students to explore and understand the deep connections among these very different domains. GenScope touts it contains accurate and up-to-date scientific content, creates new technology that will help kids to learn the content, and designs and evaluates innovative pedagogical approaches that make effective use of the technology with a broad range of students. |
