Sometimes 6th formers need a bit of 'comic relief' that can still be somewhat educational. I found this game called the Incredible Megacell that you should find fun. Use the slingshot to win the game!

This game will help you to understand some of the functions of the cell organelles!

Here is a site that examines the conservation and importance of mangroves and coral reefs with studies done in the Caribbean. Navigate the site and see what you find.
Look for the function of mangroves and coral reefs, look at the differences in the species of mangroves and of corals and conservation programmes.

In Integrated Science we were investigating the amounts of calories that are present in the foods we love to eat and for an object lesson we used one of the popular fast food restaurants here in Barbados. Here is a chance for you to see exactly how many calories you eat in your favorite fast food meal. Remember you should only eat between 2,000-2,500 calories per day if you are an active individual. Sedentary lifestyle?-go below 2,000.

At this nifty site fill up your tray and calculate the calories.

I hope that you find the contents of this blog insightful and a help to your science studies here at school. Science can be challenging but it can also be fun as you begin to see how the puzzle of life is put together. This blog will have information relevant for all ages from the Integrated Science class to the Senior Biology groups.
