Welcome to ScienceMaster's Biology & Life Home Page
 Life, perhaps the greatest wonder of them all - from microscopic germs to elephants and everything in between. The Earth teems with living creatures. Our fossil record reveals gigantic dinosaurs that lead the way to birds and mammals of every shape and size. The seas are home to fish as well as thousands of invertebrates. The continents sport carpets of plants and fields of golden grasses.
Meanwhile, under the scrutiny of the microscope, DNA, the code of life, is slowly giving up her secrets. We've given the living world a home in these pages. We invite all curious minds to come and explore, learn, and most of all, have fun.
