National Science Bowl - The National Department of Energy offers this unique experience. The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) National Science Bowl® is a nationwide academic competition that tests students' knowledge in all areas of science and mathematics. Middle and high school student teams from diverse backgrounds are comprised of four students, one alternate, and a teacher who serves as an advisor and coach. These teams face-off in a fast-paced question-and-answer format, being tested on a range of science disciplines including biology, chemistry, Earth science, physics, energy, and math. A featured event at the National Finals for middle school students, the Electric Car Competition, invites students to design, build, and race battery-powered model cars. This competition tests the creative engineering skills of many of the brightest math and science students in the nation as they gain hands-on experience in the automotive design process and with electric battery technology.

" NBC Learn, in partnership with the National Science Foundation, has produced these 10 extremely interesting videos that explain the science behind different winter sports. For instance, students might find "Shaun White & The Engineering of the Half Pipe" particularly engaging, plus there are videos covering the science of ice and snow, bobsledding, and much more." --Edutopia

ages 13-18 -- AUTHENTIC PURPOSE / AUDIENCE Students sign up for the Science Fair with their Google account. Then they'll carry out a test or experiment on their chosen subject, entering all the information on their project site. All submissions are due by 30 April 2013.

A chart that provides detailed descriptors for "depth of knowledge" in science

Here's an amazing science teacher and a template she will use with her class for their science portfolio and learning.  You can find her on Twitter at @mrsebiology 

Looks like a tremendous resource! Thanks!

Physical Science diigo group

This would be a great group to join (even if you don't request any notifications. You can still go and take a gander when you want to).

Description The next DRAFT of the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) is anticipated to be released for public review in late November or early December. This session will provide background information on the vision and development of the NGSS and how they incorporate the three dimensions from the Framework for K-12 Science Education. You will learn how to interpret and navigate the architecture of the standard, find information about where you can provide feedback, and learn about anticipated implementation timelines.

The webinar takes place on 11/13/12.

Play science educational games to study for Biology, Physics, Chemistry and more. Science school review for students in Middle School, and High School. A bit repetitive, but fun. Option to make own questions...great review tool.

Students aged 13 to 18 from around the world are invited to ask questions and answer them through science experiments with a chance to win once-in-a-lifetime experiences, scholarships and real-life work opportunities. Awesome opportunity for students to explore and create a scientific fair project (presented online), to address something in the real world... for a real purpose... and a real audience...

As the world population continues to grow and become more connected than ever, The DuPont Challenge asks students to consider our most important challenges by researching and writing a 700-1,000-word science essay in one of the four categories: Together, we can feed the world. Together, we can build a secure energy future. Together, we can protect people and the environment. Together, we can be innovative anywhere. The first three categories reflect the global challenges on which DuPont as a company focuses its efforts. The fourth category opens up possibilities for students to address other important topics, using scientific research to solve issues that can range from medicine and health to mathematical computation to any science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) topic that students are passionate about. For 7th-12th grades

NSTA agrees with incorporating technology skills into science education.

Great example of research, science, & fluency from these 3rd graders! It's also an opportunity for our students to respond.
