Webcytology: An Exploration of Unicellular Life

1999
"Webcytology: An Exploration of Unicellular Life" is a comprehensive resource for students who wish to learn about unicellular biology [cytology, the study of cells]. The site features an interactive simulation in which users create their own species of life and then put it to the test in a virtual petri dish where it responds to varying environmental conditions and interacts with other people?s organisms. Webcytology also includes an extensive reference section with information appropriate for students at both the beginner and AP Biology levels, message boards where students can share their ideas and questions with others, a glossary of biology terms, and interactive quizzes.
