ArtCyclopedia offers a list of notable photographers from the formation of the media to the present--and links to biographies and works.
ArtCyclopedia's list of sculptors begins with the 5th century BCE to the late 20th century. Includes links to the biographies and works.
Through the integration of video lectures and hands-on activities, students are introduced to the laws of arithmetic and geometric sequences.
Through a video lecture, students discover the visual side of the important applications of mathematics in practical life. More specifically, they will understand the relationship of mathematics and decoration or art.
The aim of this video is to introduce high school students to the engineering concept of road construction and to the reasons why problems might arise in road construction. Presentation of this concept is made more accessible to students by comparing road construction to the art of baking a layer cake. This simple comparison can serve to emphasize how important it is to follow proper procedures and to use proper materials for successful road construction. [21:46]

This online lesson plan is a fun way to wrap up a unit on animals! Student create their own shape book, then fill it with information about an animal they've researched. This site also provides adaptations and resources. (To access this lesson plan, you must register with Crayola.com. Registration is free and takes only a few moments to complete.)
Explore careers in biological science. This site is run by Howard Hughes Medical Institute and includes many types of virtual laboratories, animations, virtual exhibits, and interactive activities.
Biology 2e is designed to cover the scope and sequence requirements of a typical two-semester biology course for science majors. The text provides comprehensive coverage of foundational research and core biology concepts through an evolutionary lens. Biology includes rich features that engage students in scientific inquiry, highlight careers in the biological sciences, and offer everyday applications. The book also includes various types of practice and homework questions that help students understand—and apply—key concepts. The 2nd edition has been revised to incorporate clearer, more current, and more dynamic explanations, while maintaining the same organization as the first edition. Art and illustrations have been substantially improved, and the textbook features additional assessments and related resources.
