The Biology Corner - 3 views

  •  
    This site will be extremely useful to the science teacher. Pages include PowerPoint presentations, review guides, reading worksheets, crossword puzzles and any other specific resources used for that chapter or unit within that subject. Especially nice is the owner and keeper of this website is working to integrate Common Core into a large number of the lesson plans, especially Biology. Whereas a lot of website do not actively update and change their content this one seems to do that.

    Good place to go to get detailed information on science demonstrations you can do in class (or at home). This site is beneficial because not only does it outline the steps to doing the demo but each has a link to a video that shows a successful demo.

Red List of Threatened Species - 0 views

    This website is a fantastic resource to use to get the conservation status for ANY plant or animal on planet earth.

Perception Is Not Always Reality - 0 views

  •  
    This is a great lesson on various visual illusions used to engage and intrigue students, all raising the question "Why is this an illusion?" With interest piqued, students are engaged to answer this question about the T-illusion, proposing hypotheses to explain what makes it an illusion, then designing simple experiments to test those hypotheses. This is extended to a look at natural illusions, and how science effectively reveals their reality.
