micro*scope was originally developed to promote aware of microbial biodiversity. Almong its other roles, it can act as a resource that can be called upon or linked to educational exercises. We are keen to hear from teachers and students as to ways that we can improve micro*scope or to help you take advantage of the rich resources within it.

Microbial Life
Microbial Life is a sister site. It has been funded by the National Science Digital Library, and emphasizes on-line resources that can be used in educating students (favoring the K-12 group) about microbial ecology, diversity and evolution. Microbial Life also has an array of educational modules that comply with US science curriculum standards.
