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)

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.

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

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

There are some good science simulations here that you can manipulate online now for free.

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

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

Here are lots of links from the pioneers of the flipped classroom to support it.

This is a really interesting page about alternate ways to teach science and math (not just science and math but those are the examples given). Check it out.

An interesting genetics lesson plan
