The Bugscope project provides free interactive access to a scanning electron microscope (SEM) so that students anywhere in the world can explore the microscopic world of insects. This educational outreach program from the Beckman Institute's Imaging Technology Group at the University of Illinois supports K-16 classrooms worldwide. Bugscope allows teachers everywhere to provide students with the opportunity to become microscopists themselves—the kids propose experiments, explore insect specimens at high-magnification, and discuss what they see with our scientists—all from a regular web browser over a standard broadband internet connection.

From site: The DeerNet team describes in detail the scientific process in exploring the habits of deer in the wild. Students ask the team questions and get information on the importance of this project... Discuss the questions you believe would be important to research concerning deer and human interaction. What research methods would be helpful? How would you develop an experiment to conduct that research and find answers to your questions? Compare your ideas to those of the DeerNet team. View the process used to attach the camera to a deer. View video footage from a deer camera. See examples of data gathered so far. Ask team members questions about the processes they used and the data they have gathered. Be ready to leave the program with an assignment designed to help the scientists with an essential part of their research.

From site: Today, the world is a melting pot of dog breeds. You are just as likely to see an akita trotting out of a Manhattan apartment as out of a house in the Honshu region of Japan, where the breed's ancestors developed bear-hunting traits hundreds of years ago. While the majority of dog owners worldwide no longer choose their canine pets on the basis of what the dogs were bred to do, all of the roughly 450 recognized breeds are, in one way or another, descended from dog types that date back thousands of years to the beginning of their domestication.
