ABC Science

Five Cool Things You Can Do With WeatherSpark 1. Get three local forecasts presented in graphs. Two when outside of the US. 2. Compare the weather in San Francisco vs New York. 3. View the global climate trends. And read the details. 4. Check out the monsoon in Mumbai, India. The rain is so dominant that it cools down the air for three months, creating a yearly temperature curve that actually dips in the summer. 5. See an average late July in Houston. The thunderstorms typically roll in around 4pm. ... or tweet your own suggestion! WeatherSpark is a new type of weather website, with interactive weather graphs that allow you to pan and zoom through the entire history of any weather station on earth. Get multiple forecasts for the current location, overlaid on records and averages to put it all in context"

" 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! "

"This has lots of interactive resources on lots of different topics"

"Skoool.co.uk has lessons and simulations fro grades 6 to 10. The link here is to the key stage 3 chemistry page but you can access the rest from there."

"This has links to loads of websites about science from Einstein to the effect of global warming on polar bears."

"WebElements: the periodic table on the web "

"This has some interesting things about science it is not aimed at particular topics that we teach but is good for interest for younger students"

"This is the home page of Doc Browns chemistry clinic. This has stuff for all from grade 6 to IB. It has revision notes and lots of interactive quizzes. The IB level stuff is aimed at A level but its still useful. Its not an easy site to navigate though"

"This is for key stage 3 grades 6,7 and 8 it has links to useful websites with activities for all of the topics we cover"

"Games to help you balance equations"

"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"

" Aimed at A level chemistry but very useful for IB students. Explains things in detail"

"for Biology, Environmental Science and Physics. Lots of useful stuff here."

"This has everything: simulations, videos, interactive labs, visuals, worksheets and notes."

"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!
