This page hosts links to external websites, not maintained by ZFIN, with resources for students and educators.
Select movies demonstrating cell division and development will be made available on this page. We hope this collection will continue to grow over time. Suggestions for inclusion are welcome and can be sent to Jonathan Knight.
Project BioEYES - A unique, interactive site designed for students to learn about the fields of science and medicine by becoming scientists in their own classrooms.
This site, administered by the Thomas Jefferson University Science Outreach Program, provides the curriculum and resources for teachers and their students in the 4th grade through high school to participate in a one-week classroom experiment designed to teach basic development and genetics through hands-on experience.
Zebrafish K-12 - Facts and information about "zebrafish", the organism, and "zebrafish (Danio rerio)", the popular model used for developmental and genetics research.
This site contains facts and information on zebrafish and zebrafish research, images of the developmental stages of the zebrafish and links to other online resources, including commercial suppliers and other K-12 sites. In addition, the site contains an online manual, Zebrafish ABZs, designed for those interested in using zebrafish for teaching scientific research or for simple projects.
Zebrafish In The Classroom - Designed to be a resource for teachers and students who are using zebrafish in undergraduate courses.
This site contains protocols for techniques ranging from the raising and maintenance of zebrafish, to fixing embryos for microscopy, to molecular techniques used for the visualization of RNA and proteins. In addition, there are experimental protocols for the classroom and virtual experiments that can be carried out online when a laboratory setting is not available.
