Earthquake and Virtual
Earthquake
“With Virtual Earthquake the teachers can do
a lab which the students learn from while the
teachers don't have hours of grading.”
Christine Girtain, Toms River, High School
South, Toms River, NJ
“Not only did they learn a great deal about
Earthquake science, but they had a wonderful
time doing it. The program has such amazingly
helpful features that I absolutely loved for my
slower learners (like having the graph lock
into place as you near the correct point -
that's great!). My faster learners would finish
early and then move into the role of teacher
for their fellow students...how fabulous!”
Rachel Miller, 8th Grade Science, Grand
Prairie, TX
“[T]he new additions, including the new
activities and student assessment reports are
fantastic!” Phil Horton, Science Dept Chair,
Rio Hondo Prep School, Arcadia, CA
“It gives the students good experience working
on the computer, reading graphs and inputting
data.” Karen Blount, Highland High School,
Bakersfield, CA
“The best part is that it forces them to make
careful measurements!” Bill Grosser,
Glenbard High School, OH
“Thank you so much for the great learning
experience... they learned more about
earthquakes then we could have taught them in a
week.” Jill Tucker, Taylor Road Middle
School, Alpharetta, GA
“Wow, I feel so empowered and so do my
students....Thanks for all your help.” Diane
Langmuir, Dwight-Englewood School, Englewood,
NJ
FlyLab from Biology Labs
Online
(formerly Virtual FlyLab)
“FlyLab would be a very quick, neat and clean
way to show basic Mendelian genetics, starting
with simple monohybrid crosses and working our
way into more complicated crosses a step at a
time.” Susan Harrison, Franklin High School,
Stockton, CA
“It wasn’t messy, smelly, costly and we didn’t
have flies populating the entire wing of our
building. This is a MUST HAVE for any classroom
that wants to integrate technology in the
classroom.” Tonya Little, Teacher
“The students are able to conduct crosses in a
matter of minutes and get almost immediate
results. One of the hooks of your program is
that the students get to use the internet in an
interactive manner, and secondly, they use your
lab in conjunction with actual experiments with
drosophila in the lab to generate hypothesis
and compare their results with.” Robert
Kluberdanz, High School Teacher
“I've broken the class into research groups to
investigate selected inheritance patterns using
virtual fly. We are doing our own breeding
experiments with real flies (which I haven't
had great luck with in the past). Your program
interfaces very nicely with our 'real-life'
work!” Dave Williams, Ballston Spa High,
NY
