A fantastic free quarterly e-science education magazine and some school science resources from the University of Adelaide. The Magazine is available as a free iPad version which is excellent and includes class resources (videos, audio, worksheets) to bring it into the classroom. Highly recommended.

Links to several sites that have online labs for biology, physics, and chemistry

A huge range of very simple science experiments.

nice videos on a variety of STEM topics curated by NSF

Excellent resource. Short videos on a wide array of science topics. Upper school audiences mostly.

This WebElements periodic table page contains Essential information for the element ununhexium

A nice and simple periodic table with links to a huge bank of information about each element, including a funny cartoon. http://ictmagic.wikispaces.com/Science

From site: "Developed for teachers and students, we find the best science interactives & resources in the world. Framed by the National Science Education Standards, we are a research & review web site."

This site is designed especially with the young learner in mind with its age-appropriate content and emphasis on visual and auditory learning. Glossopedia is the kind of site that you can leave open for students to explore and find a fast fact of the day, find their favorite image, or video Glossopedia Categories Geography and Places Nature and the Environment Technology Animals Earth and Space People and Cultures Human Body Chemistry Natural Forces This site is simple and visually pleasing. The font size is great for young learners. Words are hyperlinked to an audio pronunciation that is a real person, speaking really slowly at first then more quickly, and finally the written meaning of the word. Images and photos have a print button prominently displayed.

Mix chemicals and solutions without producting any unpleasent smells (hopefully) with this virtual chemisty lab. Use online or download. http://ictmagic.wikispaces.com/Science

online physical science simulations and other activities.

professional development and student activities for a variety of science topics - if you need a refresher before teaching this is a good resource. Also lots of simulations are available. Requires sign in but does not require NSTA membership and many are free. Can save to My Library

Interactives for science and math. Open Source and downloadable. Search by grade level or subject. For Elementary through Higher Education.

Great find. Thanks a lot Melissa.

Some old favourites here - although the lava lamp looks interesting.

An interesting image based periodic table with links to information and images of each element. http://ictmagic.wikispaces.com/Science

Lots of online Science activities here. You have to register to get access to them but it is free.

I love Scienterrific Games. At this site, you'll find a variety of games (board games, card games, etc) to use as review with your students. They are geared more toward high school, but all the typical high school sciences are represented. The owner is a former colleague who is a total inspiration to me. The games are not free, but are VERY reasonably priced. I have used several, and my students LOVE them.

From site: "Are you a teacher looking for exciting experiments for your classroom? Or a kid who wants to see what you can build from everyday items? These experiments from "Science Scavenger" Dan Menelly are designed to inspire and excite kids of all ages, using only low cost materials and with very little setup time."
