This interactive online resource for biology has been developed by the University of Arizona for high school and college-level biology students.  There are also links to biology activities and projects for younger students.  The site includes tutorials, problem sets, activities, and other resources that guide teachers and learners in biochemistry, cell biology, developmental biology, human biology, Mendelian genetics, immunology, and molecular biology.  The site is an excellent resource for parents who are helping students in the biology sciences – which have changed a great deal since “the good old days.”

Summer Reading Grades 6-12
http://www.gwd50.k12.sc.us/BookList-Required.htm 
Greenwood School District 50 has revised its required reading lists for grades 6-12.  This webpage lists all the books required for the summer before each grade level and those required during each grade level.  For the required summer reading, students must complete a Summer Reading Activity report, using specific information that is listed by grade level and program level.  Parents and students will want to check this site right away so they can plan to buy the required books and so they can print the required format for the reports.
