"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."
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.
Algodoo gives you the opportunity to play with physics. Use your own hands and simple drawing tools to design, construct and explore the world of physics.
"With its rover named Curiosity, Mars Science Laboratory mission is part of NASA's Mars Exploration Program, a long-term effort of robotic exploration of the red planet. Curiosity was designed to assess whether Mars ever had an environment able to support small life forms called microbes. In other words, its mission is to determine the planet's "habitability."
"
A logic science game designed to teach about neutrons and the brain. Connect the neutrons to score points a micrometre at a time.

"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."
"Earlier this year, NASA spacecraft Voyager 1 left our solar system after a 35-year journey, carrying with it a golden record containing sounds, images and music from Earth. Its sister craft, Voyager 2, carries an identical record. The records were designed to encapsulate the aural heritage of Earth in 90 minutes - but some preliminary investigation, however, reveals that there a few inaccuracies in the official NASA documentation about the golden records."
California's Tech Museum of Innovation: engineering-design lab lesson plans, uses available materials and explores electromagnetism, solar energy, force and motion, chemical properties, engineering and earthquakes, genetics. Mostly targeted at middle school levels.
Ed Walsh, Science Advisor for Cornwall Learning, has taken eight of the case studies from the book and turned them into lessons aimed at GCSE level students. The lessons are designed to engage and excite students and encourage them to think for themselves. Pupils in secondary schools are in many cases very capable of understanding the 'Bad Science' approach and making good use of it themselves. Their grasp of scientific concepts and their enquiring minds mean that Bad Science is good for school science.
"The Progressive Achievement Tests in Science (PATScience) is a thoroughly researched and nationally normed test to assess student achievement in scientific understanding from Years 3 to 10. The test questions are designed to assess science knowledge, scientific literacy and understanding of scientific principles, as well as their application."
"Nature's best kept secret is a wonder molecule called RNA. It is central to the origin of life, evolution, and the cellular machinery that keeps us alive. In this Lab you'll play the role of a molecular engineer by solving RNA folding puzzles. Then take your skills to Eterna, where you can design RNAs that could be at the heart of future life-saving therapies."
Illume does this by offering the world's largest database of syllabi; reading lists; course notes; text and trade books; newspaper, magazine and journal articles; videos; case studies; simulations; problem sets; lecture presentations; and other instructor and student materials. It has just been introduced and it is completely free for all to use. While it is designed for university instructors, high school teachers looking to assign learning materials beyond textbooks will also find it very useful.
"Superb adventure platform and puzzle game which teaches about electricity and electrical circuits, designed by the engineering department at the University of Cambridge. Play in your browser or download from Steam."
"Discover and explore the micro world of cells with this well design flash resource. Browse interactive diagrams of various types of living cells and try the quiz to test your knowledge."
