Virtual Electron Microscope Drag the sample onto the microscope stage and observe it. Try to guess what it is.  Specimens include: housefly mouth, house spider eyes, mold, insect spiracle, and more.  Amazing!	Science Chapter Two Great Links	Cell Inspector Drag the labels onto the organelles and check your answer. There are four different cells for you to check out.  They include both animal and plant cells.
Cells Alive - Tour of a Cell Click on the organelles and see the name pop up.  Click below for detailed information about each organelle.	I Know That - Interactive Cells Click on "looking through a microscope" and you can view a bunch of digital slides, including: elodea, onion, carrot, tilia root, skeletal muscle, blood, and lung tissue.  If you hover over organelles on the plant or animal cell, a child's voice pronounces the word, and a fact pops up about it.	Plant and Animal Cell Simulation You can manipulate the 3-D plant or animal cell by clicking and dragging. COOL!
