A Diigo group for science teachers -when joining groups, remember to adjust your alert setting so you don't get a too many emails (choose daily at a minimum, weekly is fine too)

Free educational simulations covering a diverse topics designed by the University of Colorado available in various languages. This is a really great site to use for science resources. Teachers have also developed and posted lesson plans for each simulation.

Interactive Science Simulations Fun, interactive, research-based simulations of physical phenomena from the PhET project at the University of Colorado.

Hi Science Teachers, Check out this AP Science teacher who records his lectures in Youtube for his students in what we consider a "Flipped classroom"

science concepts set to music.  good for review maybe?

After two years, the final Next Generation Science Standards arrived in April, and along with a focus on rigor and real-world application, the standards include a focus on engineering-and education leaders are ensuring that their teachers have the resources to teach the subject. Resources: Amazing Alex app- grades 4-8- Rube Goldberg contraptions Coaster Crafter- grades 3-12 physics concepts taught through games building a roller coaster Design Squad Nation- grades 3-8- compete to solve engineering problems World of Goo app- grades 4-12- build structures with unique materials. Geometry, physics, engineering

"About Kerbal Space Program Kerbal Space Program is a multi-genre game where the players create their own space program. In KSP, you must build a space-worthy craft, capable of flying its crew out into space, without killing them. At your disposal is a collection of parts, which must be assembled to create a functional ship. Each part has its own function and will affect the way a ship flies (or doesn't). So strap yourself in, and get ready to try some Rocket Science! "

great source for music videos explaining Science concepts

Website that brings together ordinary people and scientists for work on projects. Interesting way to bring real science projects into the classroom.

A series of online workshops on assessment in math and science. I know some of us were wondering about where we could find models and examples of performance based assessment for science, and these videos have several.

Google is looking for the brightest young scientists from around the world to submit interesting, creative projects that are relevant to the world today.

An interesting way to use VoiceThread in Science. You could use the same idea to test student's knowledge of different topics. "9th graders write Children's stories about astronomy, Mrs. Edenstrom. I had all of my 9th grade science students do a Children's story about astronomy. They had to have facts, but tell it in a creative way that could be read and understood by elementary aged students! I had great success with this."

"Here you can find teaching resources for your physics and physical science classe"

The Quest Learning and Assessment System uses an extensive knowledge bank of over 60,000 questions and answers covering Math, Biology, Chemistry, Computer Science, Physical Science and Physics.

this site seems to have a LOT of resources; Game based learning, tech integration, labs, etc, specifically for the sciences.  

Brilliant is one way to keep your science and math whiz kids regularly engaged and challenged. Students receive challenge problems each week that they complete and then compare against their peers all over the world. They can see where they match up against others based on country and age, and share strategies with others students. The site also hosts competitions involving game theory, writing algorithms, and other fun shenanigans.

really cool looking game-based learning tools, including lesson plans. looks like you can register your class to view students' progress.
