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

Great videos. Click on playlist to see what videos are available.

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"

GNU TeXmacs is a free wysiwyw (what you see is what you want) editing platform with special features for scientists. The software aims to provide a unified and user friendly framework for editing structured documents with different types of content (text, graphics, mathematics, interactive content, etc.). The rendering engine uses high-quality typesetting algorithms so as to produce professionally looking documents, which can either be printed out or presented from a laptop. The software includes a text editor with support for mathematical formulas, a small technical picture editor and a tool for making presentations from a laptop. Moreover, TeXmacs can be used as an interface for many external systems for computer algebra, numerical analysis, statistics, etc. New presentation styles can be written by the user and new features can be added to the editor using the Scheme extension language. A native spreadsheet and tools for collaborative authoring are planned for later.

a multimedia, interactive alternative to a textbook for physics

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

great TED talk at the end

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

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."

"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)."

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