Sparta HS Science

Here is a great example of delivering content digitally to students (for free) from Standford University. You can access them via iTunes or YouTube. Tim and Kathy, these lectures are all physics-based. Definitely worth a look!

Interesting article about the status of Pluto - According to the I.A.U., Pluto is still not a planet, hence, we only have eight. What I found funny was the "No Planet Left Behind" theory, which would give us 13 planets in our solar systems. This generated a lot of discussion in the comment section as well.

I found this article in the NY Times - Interesting instructional shift for Intro to Physics at M.I.T. Follows the premise that students learn best by doing.

New Year's brings a time to look back at the year and reflect - this resource is looking back on the top science events in 2008. It's no surprise that CERN's Large Hadron Collider tops the list.

Although this site is primarily for SMARTBoards, this technology can easily be used on the Tablet PC's.

Amazing pictures from the Hubble Telescope. The top picture contains several images taken over the past two years.

Simple Science Videos - For free. Fun stuff, here.

Another online / elearning resource for students, with highlights in envrionmental science and physics.

Solar System information and resoures with links to planets, moons, and other interesting facets of the solar system.

Library of math and science java applets. These let you set your own variables and conduct online lab / experimentations. Subject areas include bio, chem, physics, earth and space, and math.

Assessment rubric to evaluate students' writing on a blog. Could be easily adapted to wikis as well.

This includes resources for Pre-K through 12 for all subject areas. You may want to take a look to see what is offered for science and upper grade levels.

25 tools every educator should have in their toolbox. I like the breakdown of this list, and the included examples.

This guy has posted a ton of screencast tutorial videos for math and physics. Chemistry teachers may want to reference these to help students with their basic skills.

Here is a Diigo group title "Teaching Tablets" - Great way to join in and collaborate with others that use this form of technology.

Exploring the Universe... A small application is required to download (for free). Great for Earth Science.

If you've played around with Google Earth, you know it is pretty cool. Here are some earth science activities with links to other science areas.

Contains math and science simulations for all major science disciplines (earth science, chemistry, physics and biology), and math tools and applications.

Flash-based tutorials for all disciplines in science plus a general catagory with some useful tools.

Looking for a different way to teach something? Want to involve collaboration through tech? THis is a great place to start looking for ideas
