"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:"
This site is designed as a supplement to laboratory dissections exploring introductory mammalian anatomy and physiology - it is basic and many details have been omitted for clarity. We hope that it is suitable for AP Biology students or for students of introductory anatomy and physiology at the college level.
We have revised this site to improve the learning experience and accessibility. Please see the "About" page for more details and contact information. We hope you find it useful and enjoy using it!
"Global Challenges/Chemistry Solutions (GC/CS) is an ambitious project, launched by ACS in 2008, to identify the world's most pressing sustainability challenges, and explore the solutions emerging from chemistry.
View the original report.
Updated constantly, this website and podcast, available on iTunes, monitors scientific developments and breakthroughs in the global struggle for sustainability. GC/CS is an ongoing saga of chemistry for life - chemistry that truly matters."
