If you are looking for ways to integrate online learning into your science class, then take a look at these cool online tools that are just perfect for both teachers and students.

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.

Games for students and teachers to use to review science concepts

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.

From site: Although YouTube has something of a reputation as a repository for the inane mental diarrhea of stunted man-children injuring each other for cheap laughs or shrill teenage drama queens shrieking like harpies over the latest bland, interchangeable lump passing as the epitome of masculine beauty, many others thankfully take advantage of its services as a portal to share their knowledge and educate viewers. While few of the scientific offerings formally follow the scientific method or test an explicitly stated hypothesis, even those videos veering more towards demonstrating various principles, theories, and laws still offer visitors a chance to learn something about how the world around them operates.

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."
