This Wikispace has been produced to produce an area to allow science teachers to share SMART board teaching resources that they have made with the aim of using them in science lessons. The files are intended for use with the National Curriculum within the United Kingdom. However, it is likely that they will be applicable elsewhere. The key features of this Wikispace are:

There are three types of muscle, each with a different structure and function. Skeletal muscle produces the most powerful contractions and is essentially involved in performing the body's movements. Skeletal muscle is under conscious control and is therefore described as voluntary. It is composed of cells, elongated up to twelve inches in length, containing many minute myofibrils and nuclei. It can contract and relax rapidly, but is easily fatigued. Smooth muscle is found in the arteries and in the digestive and urinary tracts, and performs the slow, long-term contractions needed to maintain these systems. Smooth muscle is made up of elongated cells arranged in bundles, each with a single nucleus. Within the intestines an inner circular band produces ring-like constrictions and an outer longitudinal band produces wavelike motions. Controlled by the autonomic system, smooth muscle contraction is involuntary. Cardiac muscle, found exclusively in the heart, continuously generates very strong contractions and rarely tires in its task of pumping blood throughout the body. It has a built-in rhythm of contraction, but is regulated by the heart's pacemaker. Cardiac muscle forming the heart is made up of branched cells containing many nuclei. It occurs as thick spiral bands around the ventricles of the heart.

Infrared light shows us the heat radiated by the world around us. By viewing animals with a thermal infrared camera, we can actually "see" the differences between warm and cold-blooded animals. Infrared also allows us to study how well feathers, fur and blubber insulate animals. As you tour this "Infrared Zoo", see what new information you can gather about the animals here that you would not get from a visible light picture. If you would like to learn more about infrared light and the infrared universe visit Cool Cosmos. Enjoy your tour!

Great page. Just like Thinking Reader - books with the same level of scaffolding (only free). Excellent resource. Three different levels of support.

This looks a pretty cool gadget. Wonder if it will have any effect on the IWB market? It could presuably capture to a peice of software like smart notebook? Could the old stand with butcher's paper be the new IWB?

Welcome to the Mustech Wiki! This wiki was begun because of a conversation on the Teachers.net music teachers discussion board. Some of us decided we'd like a place to share our Smartboard lessons, and perhaps some other resources we use in our classrooms. The idea behind this wiki is simply to collaborate and share the things that make our classrooms better. It is not about us, it is about the kids and how to teach them music as effectively as possible!

This would be way fun on a SMARTboard in an ART class Myoats is a community where people create designs using an online drawing application. These designs can be rated, downloaded, and archived. The Most Liked designs are rewarded by being featured on the home page.

Here we are- about half way through the school year and right smack in the middle of winter. This is the time of year when I routinely feel a) so sick of inside recess and the resulting afternoon of madness that I could scream, b) like I have million things to cover and oh-my-goodness where did the time go and c) bored to death with my prize box. I'll let you in on a little secret. If you are bored by your routine, blah, been-sitting-in-the-treasure-chest-since-September prizes, so are your students.

Over 7,000,000 educational videos. WatchKnow website for finding educational videos for the classroom. This is also a great place to locate videos that you may want to download and incorporate into a Notebook lesson file. This site is maintained by the users and organized in a way that can really help teachers find relevant videos for the classroom. I also like the rating system that is used to help teachers make a educated decision on what videos to review.

If unplanned cash demands are adding to your trouble then you must reach out for suitable loans like same day bad credit loans. You must proceed online for applying these loans.

The blackboard in Primary School... from 1841, it sounds like we haven't really come that far.

LOVE it!!

nice site i visit ......

Some statements stand out in your memory for the power with which they resonate through you mind. I recall the first time I encountered the question posed by Alan November "Who owns the learning?" on the cover of his book of the same name. In four words, Alan poses a question that strikes at the heart of education and encourages us to re-think our approach. If we believe that the learner should own the learning, what are the implications of this for our teaching? Like a stone dropped on the surface of a calm pond, the ripples from a powerful idea spread, expand and gain strength. 

Traditional methods of teaching maths have more in common with how we programme a computer that what we might do if we wanted to engage our students in mathematical thinking. We shouldn't be overly surprised then when our students consider mathematics to be all about learning a set of rules that they need to apply in the right order so as to output the correct response. But is there a better way?

Mere substitution is not going to help our learners maximise the affordances of technology. The challenge is to find ways by which technology can enhance learning. We can be certain that technology is not going to go away and that those who maximise the affordances that it brings are likely to gain the most from it. 

Importance of knowing your brand Money tends to sift through our hands like sand when it comes to marketing. We try this and we try that, only to see we have wasted more than what we intended to. After evaluating we find most avenues are not beneficial or that many try to just take advantage of our lack of marketing knowledge. Some of the biggest cost in promoting your small business or how one advertises your service as a Pro could be very costly. When thinking on what path one will choose it is important to be well informed of all the options you may have that may be free. Once you have an established brand now the goal would be to create a trusted brand of your company or service. We have seen and read countless of articles and blogs about how many who try to market their business to no avail. There is no turnkey solution, it will take time to promote and establish a good rapport. If one is hasty it could be costly and wasteful with no return on investment ROI.
