This biochemistry website provides for interactive animation learning with a variety of related topics combined with knowledge gained to take quizzes or play games with biochemistry understanding. For people who learn best or easier by visual association, this website is found to be easy to use and connects ideas completely together. The main menus across the top once selected, give a brief summary of what will be covered in that section. From there the user can chose any specific topic they are looking for. For example, when glycolysis is chosen, another browser window opens and an interactive match up game of the glycolysis process begins. I have yet to cover this topic in my current biochemistry class, but I found this application super easy to use and had fun seeing what I already knew. No required sign in or membership is required which is a plus for me because this means one less password to remember!
The "Cutting Edge" menu has many interesting real world applications of biochemistry. Facts and statistics are listed even with input calculators such as a BMI index calculator. Possible biochemistry related careers are also listed. For further and more related topics such as structure databases, online journals and laboratory protocols to name a few, a link is provided. Overall, this website is easy to use, easy to navigate through and very informative. A++ rating from me.

That was a great site. It is a good place to go to help get a visual of the biochemical processes. The games are fun too. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteThis website is run very well for a visual learner. I am someone who likes to see things visually while learning because it helps to solidify concepts when I am able to actually see the material that is being presented. Animations and quizzes are great tools to use while learning. This website seems to have a good grasp on many different topics and tools. I really like the "cutting edge" menu and its real world applications. I am also someone who finds subjects easier when you can relate them to real world situations. When I am able to see how the information I am learning is used everyday in the real world, it helps me to understand it better. Great find! I think this is a very helpful website!
ReplyDeleteCOOL site! I love it. This site is fun, interactive, and very helpful to better understand the basics. I love that they cover a wide variety of topics and have great info and quizzes to help with the learning process. Nice pick!!
