Swimbots Gene Pool is an artificial life simulation in which populations of organisms evolve swimming capabilities over time. These organisms are called "swimbots". You can set mate preference criteria and thus influence what the swimbots consider as attractive qualities in potential mates. The most attractive swimbots get chosen most often and so their genetic building blocks propogate to future generations. Eventually, swimbots get better at pursuing each other, competing for food, and becoming babes to other swimbots. Local gene pools emerge which compete for sex and food (for energy to have more sex). Eventually a dominant sub-population takes over.

Energy Gallery is an interactive gallery where children age 7-14, their teachers and families, can explore how energy powers every aspect of their lives. The gallery is packed with computer-based exhibits and feels like an 'energy playground'. Visitors can play with novel interfaces from spinning drums and touch-screens to dance-floor footpads.

National Whiteboard Network is a site which site provides guidance on how ICT can be used effectively to support interactive whole class teaching during Science lessons.
