KidsHealth: The Flu
"The enemy sneaks up on you so quietly that you don’t even know it’s there. Then BAM! Before you know what hit you, influenza (say: in-floo-en-zah) has made you sick, sick, sick! Written just for elementary-age kids, KidsHealth tells us what the flu is, how you get it, and what to do if you get it. Learn more by clicking on any of the hyperlinked words, such as virus or fever. Related topics, like Who Needs a Flu Shot?, can be found on the orange More Articles Like This tab."

Kapili.com Cells
"The imaginary Kapili Islands are home to a variety of research labs which produce the wonderfully educational Kapili.com. Their site on cells is my pick of the day! Great illustrations and a breezy writing style make this site a winner for middle and high school students as well as us older learners. After cells, check out the Topic List for more biology (biochemistry and ecology,) physics, chemistry and astronomy."

Infection Detection Protection
""Microbes are the oldest form of life on Earth. Some types have existed for billions of years. These single-cell organisms are invisible to the eye, but they can be seen with microscopes. Microbes live in the water you drink, the food you eat, and the air you breathe. Right now, billions of microbes are swimming in your belly and crawling on your skin. Don’t worry, over 95% of microbes are harmless." This entire exhibit (from the American Museum of Natural History) is fabulous, but the best clicks are the Shockwave games with names like Bacteria in the Cafeteria and Infection!<!--"

""There area lot of us Genes here, so it can get pretty confusing. We are kinda the brains behind the wholeoperation. And not just the nucleus, but the entire cell and even the entire body. Each of us Geneshas only one job to do. That’s to remember exactly how to construct a single protein."""

I Can Do That: Cells
"Created specifically to encourage upper elementary and middle-school students to delve into science, I Can Do That explains plant and animal cells with a cartoon-like approach. ""I’m Chloe the chloroplast. I’m a part of a plant cell. My job is to turn sunlight into sugar! Isn’t that a grand job? Plant cells, and animal cells for that matter, are pretty sophisticated."" Additional topics include DNA, synthesis and cloning. Some students might find the comic book approach annoying, while others will love it."

CNN: Flu Season 2003-2004
"In this special feature, CNN not only reports on the latest flu season news, but also provides a lot of educational material. Worthwhile sidebars include What is Influenza?, Widespread Activity Map, Flu Pandemics Throughout History, and How Flu Vaccines Work. ""A new vaccine was licensed this year and is an alternative to the flu shot. FluMist, a nasal spray, contains weakened, altered live antibodies instead of dead ones and is inhaled instead of injected.""
