"Engineering and Computing Career Conference (ECC) is a two day conference for high school girls to explore engineering majors offered at Georgia Tech. The 2008 ECC will be held on October 23 & 24 at Georgia Tech's Bill Moore Student Success Center." This is a great event to pass along to your female students who excel in math and science. To be held at my alma mater.

October 23, 24 math and science conference in Atlanta at GT.

Middle-school students across the United States are invited to submit their solutions to environmental problems in their communities. Teams of two to three students from sixth through eighth grade working with a teacher will identify an environmental issue in their community, research the issue using scientific investigation, and create a replicable green solution using Web-based curriculum tools.

New contest for middle school science! Love the website!

Website with resources about science fairs.

Free resource for science fair information and ideas including free materials.

This website provides tools, science project ideas, guides, and resources for educators.

A website with ideas for projects and science activities of all kind. I love how you can take a survey and it can help you find a project based upon your topics. Science teachers and homeschool parents in search of science projects will enjoy this site.

Cool website with home experiments.

Cool experiement site that I'll be using this summer with my children.

Virtual Biology and Chemistry labs. These have a lot of potential in science education!

Next week is the anniversary of the oil spill. Here is a CNN student news segment to help you study this. (Hat Tip: Richard Byrne, Free Tech for Teachers)

Science teachers should follow this audio blog. For those who are discussing the oil spill from a year a go or the earthquake, this video / audio podcast can give you some insight into teaching this.

Cool (not free though) website with some really nifty gizmos.

I think we're going to see more companies that have valid, standards based games like this one for elementary science and math. This isn't free but you can have a free trial and try the games free for 5 minutes. I think that games are going to be part of what we do and smart textbook companies would behoove themselves to embed games as part of the curriculum for each chapter. I wish my school could do something like this, another thing to look at.
