"In the whole history of space exploration, I've never seen something like this visualization (below). It's a look back at the past 50 years of space exploration… visualized in one single image. It's incredibly detailed so you're going to have to click on the image and then zoom in, pan around, etc. "

This is an Annenberg Learner Course with videos, visuals, animations, interactives, and text.

"Pittsburgh-based visual artist Nickolay Lamm, who blogs at UK discount site MyVoucherCodes.co.uk, worked with a computational geneticist to illustrate three ways that humans' physical appearances might change to better suit their environments over the next 100,000 years. However, many of these assumptions don't rely on evolution, but rather zygotic genome engineering technology. Scientists in the future might be able to manipulate human features prior to birth."

"This is a newly revised 3 minute HD dramatic video choreographed to powerful music, which introduces the viewer to the wonder and miracle of cells. It is designed as a motivational "trailer" to be shown by Biology, Biochemistry and Life Science teachers in middle and high school and college as a visual "Introduction" to this amazing microscopic world."

Resources to teach and learn chemistry

Chem Collective is a project designed and maintained by Carnegie Mellon University's chemistry department and the National Science Digital Library. On Chem Collective you will find virtual labs for chemistry experiments, simulations, visualizations, tutorials, and auto-graded problems. Students and teachers can search the site by resource type or by chemistry topic.

"Visualize in real-time the frequencies that you can hear around you and even those you cannot. The SpectrumView analyser provides a high quality real-time spectrogram and spectrum analyser display with configurable sample rate and frequency resolution for the iPhone and iPad.  You can use this application to measure the highest tones you can sing, to find the source of an annoying sound, for calibrating musical instruments or generally for all sorts of acoustic analysis.

"Mindmapping is a very serious and well researched subject, or art … or something . Whatever it is a map of the mind is definately something to be valued and this 'instructionalicious' guide is no exception. Allow this infographic to simultaneously blow and map your mind."

"This is a 4 minute HD dramatic video choreographed to powerful music, which introduces the viewer to the wonder of DNA. It is designed as a "trailer" to be shown by Biology teachers in high school and college as a visual "Introduction" to this amazing molecule, and how it has directed all life on Earth."

"Graphs are a useful tool in science. The visual characteristics of a graph make trends in data easy to see. One of the most valuable uses for graphs is to "predict" data that is not measured on the graph. "

"The MIDWAY media project is a powerful visual journey into the heart of an astonishingly symbolic environmental tragedy. On one of the remotest islands on our planet, tens of thousands of baby albatrosses lie dead on the ground, their bodies filled with plastic from the Pacific Garbage Patch."

"One of the greatest exploration feats of all time - the Cassini mission to Saturn, followed by the release of the Huygens probe into Saturn's largest moon, Titan"
