"Monday evening saw my first attempt to moderate a twitter chat as I took the reigns of the #asechat hashtag for an hour. For those that don't know, #asechat is the official hashtag for the Association for Science Education and everyone with an interest in science teaching is invited to take part in the chat. The topic for Monday's chat was Interactive resources in Science. Here are some of the many links that were shared during the hour, in no particular order:"

A website containing links to videos associated with specific elements of the periodic table... and the links are arranged as found on the table itself!

Participating in Biodiversity Snapshots will require students to work in the classroom before and after a fieldtrip into their school yard, local park or bushland. Click through to Museum Victoria's Education pages to find resources to guide classroom and outdoor activities during all stages of the Biodiversity Snapshots program. There are introductory activities, research techniques and online tools that you will need to carry out your project. "

"Our climate is changing. The planet is warming faster than at any time in the last 10,000 years. Global average temperatures have risen by 0.8ºC since the late 19th century, and 0.2ºC per decade over the past 25 years. Man-made greenhouse gas emissions have caused, and continue to cause, most of the observed temperature rise since the mid 20th century. Millions of tonnes of greenhouse gases are produced every day by human activity. These constant emissions into the Earth's atmosphere continue to drive global warming. "

" this is a pretty good (if traditional text-book type) resource for IB level physics students. Topics are easy to navigate either through index or mind map type diagrams. Good clear explanations with plenty of links. Not brilliant for sample questions though. Since it's not IB specific the user needs to use the syllabus! "
