"A website for IB chemistry good for revision notes but beware it hasn't been fully updated for the new syllabus. It has lots of useful websites though with with simulations to help with understanding"
"Practical Biology provides teachers of biology at all levels with experiments that demonstrate a wide range of biological concepts and processes. Each practical may be used alone or as a starting-point for open-ended investigations or enhancement activities, such as clubs or open-day events. Experiments are placed within real-life contexts, with links to carefully selected further reading, enabling teachers to show relevance and illustrate the key principles of How Science Works"
simple, easy to understand biology animations covering many topics such as hydrogen bonding between water molecules, the fluidity of the cell membrane, protein folding, channels used in membrane transport (gated versus non-gated), motor proteins, and much more
Dow Chemical contacted Professional Learning Board asking what we thought of their new science videos for education. We think they're worth sharing with teachers!
" Our Choice will change the way we read books. And quite possibly change the world. In this interactive app, Al Gore surveys the causes of global warming and presents groundbreaking insights and solutions already under study and underway that can help stop the unfolding disaster of global warming. Our Choice melds the vice president's narrative with photography, interactive graphics, animations, and more than an hour of engrossing documentary footage. A new, groundbreaking multi-touch interface allows you to experience that content seamlessly. Pick up and explore anything you see in the book; zoom out to the visual table of contents and quickly browse though the chapters; reach in and explore data-rich interactive graphics. "
"The Zooniverse is home to the internet's largest, most popular and most successful citizen science projects. The currently live projects are here and plenty more are on the way."
I am a Canadian teacher who has been working in El Salvador since 1994. I currently teach ICT as well as run the new Learning Resources Centre. Our staff and students have taken to web 2.0 in a big way and we hope to continue expanding our digital toolboxes.
