Teachers and students can use Gooru to search for rich collections of multimedia resources, digital textbooks, videos, games and quizzes created by educators in the Gooru community.

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.

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

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

Searchable resources for chemistry! Really well done and easy to use.

Very exciting - Wolfram organized by Common Core Standards. Science Standards to come shortly. Wolfram Education Portal, organized by course. In the portal you'll find a dynamic textbook, lesson plans, widgets, interactive Demonstrations, and more built by Wolfram education experts. You can take a look at the types of materials we offer below, but to get full access to all materials, you need to sign up for a free account.

Good AP Bio resources including things to do after the AP test.

Hey I was just on hippocampus today and they have redesigned the website to include Khan Academy and Phets. The layout is also much more user-friendly. It is a really great resource for students. It has videos, simulations, lectures, and interactive problem solving for a variety of subjects.

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

Name: Vernier Video Physics What is it? A 2012 CODiE Awards Finalist for 'Best Educational Use of a Mobile Device,' Video Physics brings physics video analysis to iPhone, iPod touch and iPad. Users can take a video of an object in motion, mark its position frame by frame, and set up the scale using a known distance. Video Physics then draws trajectory, position, and velocity graphs for the object. Share video, graphs and data via the Camera Roll, eMail, and iTunes. Perform on-the-go analysis of interesting motions. Measure the velocity of a child's swing, a roller-coaster, or a car. Or, take a video of a basketball free throw shot. Video Physics will display the path of the ball and provide graphs of Y vs X as well as the X and Y position and velocity as a function of time. Best for: Students and physics instructors. Requirements: Compatible with iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad. Requires iOS 5.1 or later. This app is optimized for iPhone 5.

What high school student wouldn't love an experiment that requires the chewing of bubble gum? This lesson plan has everything you need to determine the percentage of sugar in bubble gum. Students need an understanding of the periodic table and an ability to calculate molar mass.

"Wolfram|Alpha now supports Lewis structures-diagrams that show both the bonded and unbonded electrons in a molecule. But as any good teacher will tell you, even more important than finding the answer is the procedure used to get that answer. Thus, Wolfram|Alpha is expanding its Step-by-step interface into the realm of chemical bonding (with even more Step-by-step functionality coming soon)."

Just received notice about November being Ocean month in Skype's "in the Classroom" project. Please let me know if you need any help. "Throughout November dive in to Skype in the classroom and make connections with some of the world's top ocean experts."

Looks like some good resources for kids. They are free online books with videos and examples of typical science topics organized by subject.

Tons of science videos/simulations on almost all topics. Great resource.

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.
