High school biology website with flash animations. Requires current Flash player.

Games:

The games on zeroBio are a lot like quizzes but they tend to have more graphics and something resembling a plot. I'm not a computer programmer or graphic artist so don't expect anything like Quake! Still, I hope you find something here that is fun to play and educational as well.

Some of the games include animations done in Flash either with sound or without sound . You'll need a current version of the Flash player to view them.

Additional Flash animations intended to illustrate key concepts in biology, chemistry, and general science can be found on the Mixed Flash page.

Although all games have coloured grade flags to indicate the course they are recommended for, what part of the curriculum they cover isn't always stated. If you want to pick a game based on something you are currently studying, go to the Student Centre, choose your course and strand, and the appropriate items will be listed there.

You might find it useful to maximize your browser's screen space for games and quizzes. Press F11 and that should do the trick if your browser is up to date.
