    Overview of Science through Second Life - a Motorola grant funded science curriculum implemented in a 9th grade Brooklyn science class, Spring 2008. (Full disclosure - Co-designed by Cathy) A practical example of using a virtual world to supplement and support standards based high school science. Note the environments NPIRL (not possible in real life).

    Cathy, this was a great resource!! Thank you! It was easy to look at the each site, the descriptions of it, and get teleported. I visited Astronomy and Info Island, got on the balloon ride and looked at the other places around.

    This is excellent. I went to the planetarium and was able to view the night sky from the perspective of Australians. What a great experience for students to have! They put on a presentation that includes history of the telescope, Galileo, current research in space, and ancient views on the stars. The night sky just opens up. It is if you are sitting at the top of the world.

    Thank you for sharing. I visited a few differect locations. It was interesting to see how some were more of just a meeting place and some were very interactive and informational.

    Anyone interested in CSI? What about forensic science to stimulate your science classes? It has posters that give information about the basics of forensic science, as well as scheduled lectures. Inside the examining room, there are pictures (both avatar and real life) of autopsies. In the morgue you can open and close the drawers.

I really liked this location. I found it really easy to navigate. I liked the museum. I felt like I was in an actual chemistry museum with floating molecules and explanations.

    Ocean science museum in SL: the educational sim includes a "Journey into the Deep" 2,000 meter underwater elevator, virtual replicas of the NOAA's research vessel "Okeanos Explorer" and submersible "Cleria", an undersea manned habitat, and lots of other scientific experiences to discover International Japanese/other collaboration

    There is a lot here! Multi-leveled world with plenty of interesting visuals. It feels much like any science museum would...you walk around to various rooms/exhibits that have some sort of hands on or interactive display that has something to do with space or science in general. Plus there are artifacts from start trek that you can explore.

    This is a blog about the use of Second Life in teaching science, especially biology. It is meant to document my Second Life activities and development efforts leading up to and including my upcoming Sabbatical in Spring 2009. My sabbatical is to develop hands on modules in Second Life that could supplement either lecture or lab classes. Photosynthesis

    This is a Star Trek museum that looks like the real Enterprise. You can go to the bridge, teleporter, engineering bay, the Captain's ready room, and everywhere else on the ship. Most of the rooms have either Star Trek trivia or they have interactive science activities. There is a planetarium, information about different parts of the universe, and short tests (more like games) to assess learning. One of the tests requires the test-taker to correctly identify different categories of craters on Mars.

    OpenSim demonstration of lab demo. The author admits that this is somewhat futuristic example. However, it DOES indicate where virtual worlds are heading in the very near future. (perhaps 2 years?) Good to show science educators in particular.

    Thanks for sharing this site I really enjoyed it. In 8th grade science we teach a unit on Astronomy. I liked being able to travel and see the Earth from space.

    The Internet-based Free-Ed.Net whose slogan is"Free Education for All" has taken to Second Life as a medium. This site is a virtual campus that feels much like a community college, with each building representing a certain discipline (humanities, nursing, math, science, IT, etc.) Features an advanced Teleport system that allows you to browse different courses and locations within campus. Allows you to access different courses online by choosing links to them in the various locations. There are lots of information kiosks and support mechanisms throughout, including the site owner, making it easy to navigate. Handy for expanding one's knowledge in various areas of interest at one's own pace.

    This place was great! It was huge. First, I got on an airplane and took a Splo tour. It took me to different places. I explored the pi area, observed the moon's orbit, and lastly went to see the optical illusions at the exhibits. There were many exhibits. Most of the exhibits I visited had optical illusions. In science, I teach my third graders to observe by looking. There was the face/vase illusion, the distorted room, and lots of other cool illusions. This reminded me of the Exploratorium in San Francisco. With budget cuts, this would be a great place to show students without leaving school campus!
