The Web-based Inquiry Science Environment (WISE) is "a simple yet powerful learning environment where students examine real-world evidence and analyze current scientific controversies." With WISE, students in grades 5-12 work on "exciting inquiry projects" covering a wide range of life sciences topics, such as genetically modified foods and plants grown in space. Everything you need is right there in the Web site, complete with notes and hints to help students make sense of the data. WISE is an NSF-funded project from the University of California - Berkeley, and is available in a number of languages.
