Nice set of interactive whiteboard tools but browser based. Aimed mainly at K-6 grades but might be useful in middle school.

From a review by Alice Yoo (here: http://mylifescoop.com/featured-stories/2011/05/top-6-sites-that-inspire-and-educate.html) "Information is Beautiful was started by London-based writer and designer David McCandless. It's a blog that takes information - facts, data, ideas - and turns it into well-designed charts, graphs and data visualizations. Relevant to not just designers but anyone who appreciates statistics and facts, this site will not only keep you entertained, it will educate you on the world we live in." Love infographics - love to be able to do them as well as these people!

Nice way to calculate how to build a model solar system. You put the measurements in for the size of the sun (in inches OR millimetres) and the rest (including sizes of planets and distances from the sun) is calculated for you.

"A vast treasury of wildlife images has been steadily accumulating over the past century, yet no one has known its full extent - or indeed its gaps - and no one has had a comprehensive way of gaining access to it. ARKive will put that right, and it will be an invaluable tool for all concerned with the well-being of the natural world." Sir David Attenborough Wildscreen Patron
