Cow's Eye Dissection
http://www.exploratorium.edu/learning_studio/cow_eye/
Here's some great virtual biology for you. "The Cow's Eye Dissection
is one of the most popular demonstrations at the Exploratorium. For
many years it has helped people satisfy their curiosity about what is
inside an eye. The material presented here is meant not to replace
the act of dissecting a cow's eye, but rather to enhance the
experience." So if your future scientist or doctor or mortician, or
criminologist likes this then you can proceed to dissecting real
critters, and parts of critters.

Puritan's Curriculum
http://www.puritans.net/curriculum/#ElectronicFormat
A bunch of Puritan learning resources, definitely old-school Biblical
teaching, on all fronts. This is not back-to-basics or back-to-
classics, but back to pre-Darwinism. Interesting, however, from an
historical point of view, and FREE downloads available on the site.
