Awesome TED Talk about a different way to teach math. Are we making things too simple? TED Talks Today's math curriculum is teaching students to expect -- and excel at -- paint-by-numbers classwork, robbing kids of a skill more important than solving problems: formulating them. At TEDxNYED, Dan Meyer shows classroom-tested math exercises that prompt students to stop and think.

Science simulation software that contains everything you would find in a chemistry lab...raw elements, chemicals, equipment. You drag the items onto a work area to teach and/or create simulations such as chemical reactions...chemistry, electricity, math, computing, would be awesome on the SB.
