Open educational resources (OER), a variety of freely available, online educational offerings, can support states in the collaborative development of a strong common curriculum.
OER Commons allows states to save, evaluate, and share resources they find on the site, as well as to create new and remix existing resources—toward the creation of custom collections of high quality Common Core-aligned resources.

Science is one of my favorite subject and I thought this resource was great! As a teacher I can see myself using . This for my future classroom. I have not seen any similar resources and i think this offers great items.
Christa,
My overall first impression about this resource is what an amazing science tool! I especially love this resource because it not only speaks to my understanding of being a science major, but also as a hopefully becoming a science teacher as well. I completely agree that this resource will for sure be used in my future classroom, as well as even possibly passing it down my future students and maybe even one day to my future student teachers. I personally believe that this resource can be used for both teachers as well as students. My reasoning behind why it can be used for both is because how teachers can learn from the viable information, or even teach the students science in a different way that they possible different even think of before. As well as students can learn from the material, on top of what the teacher has taught them in the classroom. I am currently not aware of any other similar resources, but I will make sure to keep my eye out for any more just like this one in the future. Overall, this resource is extremely valuable and easy to access.
