Symphony of Science is a project that combines science videos with music to create new and novel ways to learn science concepts. The videos are from well known scientists like Carl Sagan and Bill Nye and the content shared ranges from dinosaurs, to astronomy, to global warming. Symphony of Science videos are an excellent resource to support science curriculum in the classroom of from home. Science teachers and students should take the time to watch these videos and bookmark this site because their library continues to grow.

"The SimScientists program in WestEd's Science, Technology, Engineering & Mathematics (STEM) program is comprised of a portfolio of research and development projects that focus on the roles that simulations can play in enriching science learning and assessment. The capabilities of technology allow modifications of simulation-based activities to offer accommodations for English learners and students with disabilities. Science simulations can be used in curriculum activities, as embedded, formative assessments, and as summative assessments."

"Science students haven't been left out, of course, and there are a wide range of applications offering help with chemistry, biology, astronomy and even the math that comes along with certain fields. If you're a college student looking to supplement your science studies, these apps are some of the best for learning, sharing, researching and just plain having fun."

"When the writers of the Next Generation Science Standards began sketching out a new vision for K-12 science education, they gave themselves a mandate: Develop standards with all students in mind, not just the high achievers already expected to excel in the subject."

"Rhyme 'n Learn is math and science taught by mnemonics. A mnemonic is a learning aid. It uses word associations like rhymes so that a term or fact is easier to recall later. An example of a mnemonic is "In fourteen hundred ninety two Columbus sailed the ocean blue." I learned that in 3rd grade. Thanks Mrs. Erbach. Rhyme 'n Learn was created by me, Joe Ocando. I've taught math and science to students of all ages and discovered that many find it difficult to memorize hundreds of new terms and facts. I also found that rote learning is boring and not very effective for long term retention"

"Is there is a way to narrow the middle school science and math gap for children with disabilities? According to one researcher, Dr. Matthew Marino of Washington State University, perhaps it has already arrived, via a STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) curriculum in a Universal Design for Learning (UDL) framework underpinned by nascent assistive and instructional technology."

"The apps in this list represent ten of the best Apple iPod Touch apps for Science and Social Studies teachers. They are detailed, feature packed, and, best of all, free! Some of them are versatile enough that they could even be used in both Science and Social Studies."

These clips from The Simpsons cartoons are intended for use by science teachers. It is recommended that you download and archive each clip that you would like to use. The clips are in MPEG (.m4v) format and should play on iTunes, Quicktime Player, and many other free video players like VLC. They are a great way to liven up a slide presentation and should import into PowerPoint and Keynote. The posting and use of theses clips for educational purposes conforms with fair use of the copyright act. This website is a work in progress. If you have ideas for Science on the Simpsons clips, please email me a short description, the title of the episode, and the season number if possible."

"Turn everyday moments into brain-building moments! New science has shown that our children's brains develop the most during the ages of 0-5. Daily Vroom is an app created to make the most of these precious years when the foundation for all future learning is happening. It offers parents ways to help make connections in their child's growing brain. And it's all rooted in new science. Every day, the app serves up a "Vroom" (a simple brain-building activity) into the palm of your hand, providing you with a daily dose of inspiration. It enhances the things you already do and helps spark new ideas"
