Teaching Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) Engineering Design Through Media is a collection of activities and professional development resources drawn from programs such as WGBH's Design Squad Nation and the Engineering is Elementary® project at the Museum of Science, Boston. Add your description and what you like/why you chose this resource. How would you use it?

In this motions and mass lesson plan, which is adaptable for grades 1-4, students use a free online science game to explore the principles of physics, mass, force, and motion. Interactive whiteboard Computers with internet access for BrainPOP This lesson plan uses a free online game called SpaceForce.

Summary Why I chose this/what makes this an awesome resource How I might incorporate this resource in the classroom

summary, evaluation, potential use

The world is an interesting place, but it's fascinating up close. Through the lens of a microscope you can find details that you would otherwise never notice. But now you can. This instructable will show you how to build a stand for about $10 that will transform your smartphone into a powerful digital microscope.

This set of 6 videos explores the science behind the "super" powers of speed, strengths, mass, immortality, flight, and invisibility. Geared for middle and high school level students, this resource could be used as the hook to introduce physics concepts.

Also includes assessment questions!

A-ha! Here's a post from Ian! Found it under "topics" but not bookmarked. Follow the directions in my email, and you should be all set.

US Geologic Survey has created an online interactive depiction of the water cycle. When you scroll over the different types of water action in the image, information about that component of the cycle shows up. This would be useful for student exploration of the water cycle or review.

Magic School Bus activity that gives directions for creating a decay bottle out of soda bottle. I would use this for exploring decomposition with elementary students. They can observe it happening instead of guessing!! Yay!

Direct link to the Journal Archives of The Association for Science Education, the British equivalent of the National Science Teachers Association (NSTA) in the US. The ASE publishes four journals, which are all archived here. Some articles are available for free, but others are locked. Articles feature classroom and research-based ideas for teaching science at a variety of levels.

NSTA provides online modules for teachers to learn science content before teaching in an unfamiliar area. These modules take 1-2 hours. Try one!

SciGuides are a collection of thematically aligned lesson plans, simulations, and web-based resources for teachers to use with their students centered on standards-aligned science concepts.

Weekly astronomy article written by middle school science teacher in Flora, IL. Past articles are archived for easy reference.

Short videos about every element on the periodic table, plus other cool experiments and chemistry stuff

No practising GP would consider it their job to analyse the results from dozens of different experiments before making a "professional judgement" on the treatment for their patient. They rely on meta-studies, drug testing regimes etc. Teachers need the same level of reliable advice.
