Resources for teaching science from AAAS.

Settle the argument of who's is truly bigger with this planet size comparison tool. View a image of each planet as it's real ratio. http://ictmagic.wikispaces.com/Science

A game looking at reaction time by asking players to push the button when they see on the screen or hear a fly. http://ictmagic.wikispaces.com/Science

Site dedicated to cells. Check out the inside of cells and see the parts in action. See the cells size in comparison to other objects such as a coffe bean. This site has several interactive parts and 3d animation

These interactives originate in the galleries of the Canadian Museum of Nature. Even if you can't make it to the museum, you can enjoy a virtual experience!

Solve an interactive crime by gathering clues. Each virtual case gets progressively harder and it's a real challenge to solve all the cases.

Interactive. Test your tires while drivng on dry or wet pavement and trying to stop.

This resource is your online partner for teaching the core curriculum: English, history, science, mathematics, Spanish Learner-centered tools, lessons, and resources with measurable outcomes Interactive components that foster higher-order thinking skills Twenty-first century skills integrated into content

Lots of lessons, videos, interactive activities for high school major subjects

Superb interactive timeline about our natural resources and when they will run out. http://ictmagic.wikispaces.com/PSHE,+RE,+Citizenship,+Geography+&+Environmental

This site is sponsored by the JPL. It is interactive, varied, and looks like fun.

A collection of interactive activities about the body systems.

I had several students have great success with the skeletal and muscular systems using this. They loved it.

As it says - might be good for an interactive white board.

A resource with many activities and interactive content for grades K-5. Virtual tours, videos, etc.

interactive energy story that every young person should know

Fits perfectly with 4th grade science curriculum... other great resources in the home directory, as well.

Mastering the art of teaching appears to be easier for some colleagues than others. Some teachers just seem to have a presence, gaining respect and credibility from students, colleagues and parents alike. Did they undergo some mysterious, magical training that wasn't covered during your teacher training course?  Well, no. They just have mastered how to manage their working relationships, using their personalities to generate rapport, which is respected by students of all age. It's not rocket science - it's far more complicated than that. Personality and behaviour clashes in classrooms are inevitable, but looking at all the different elements of daily interactions can help you gain respect from students and colleagues alike...

An excellent adaptive learning site that provides online tutoring, interactive tools, and challenges in a fun and engaging way. Students need to use "yoops" (a virtual currency) to progress through activities. This does eventually require students to pay their way through the course as free yoops become increasingly difficult to acquire.. which is the largest drawback.

Brilliant science website that includes interactive games, activities, comics and videos. Great animation in 3D.
