"This week, we're looking back at the school year and collecting the lessons we published by subject area. On Tuesday, we published our social studies, history, geography and civics collection; Thursday, look for English language arts, fine arts and journalism. Below, you'll find everything we did that falls into the categories of science, math, health and technology. And if you want even more lessons in these subject areas, you might take a look at our 2010 and 2011 collections as well."

The combined Joint Entrance Exam to be introduced in 2013 will give a new dimension to schooling. The new admission pattern for the Indian Institute of Technology will give equal weightage to JEE test and CBSE XII board exam, thereby making school exam meaningful for the engineering aspirants.

Even though it says K-5 many middle school teachers use these resources.

Beyond Penguins and Polar Bears is an online magazine integrating science, literacy, and the polar regions. In each month's issue, you can: Explore the Arctic and Antarctica; Learn science concepts and literacy strategies; Read about misconceptions, equity, and technology; Discover standards-based lessons and resources; and Integrate polar science into your curriculum.

Did it sneak up on you again this year? Kidding aside, Richter Scale Day is April 26, the birthday of Charles Richter (1900-1985), inventor of the Richter scale. Most middle school science curricula include earth science studies in plate tectonics and its related phenomena, including earthquakes. Catastrophic events, such as the recent Italian earthquake, provide teachable moments. What better time to integrate a study of the Richter scale technology with science content?

You didn't miss Richter Scale Day, did you?

One of many outstanding collaborative projects from Stevens Institute of Technology.

Join schools from around the world from March 2 to May 22 as they determine how their geographic location (i.e. where they live) affects their average daily temperature and hours of sunlight. Specifically, students will: Measure the temperature and record the number of minutes of sunlight per day over a common week; Compare and contrast the results with classes from all over the world; and Determine how proximity to the equator affects average daily temperature and hours of sunlight.

"On both the blog and the YouTube channel you will find more than 100 videos demonstrating various science experiments, demonstrations, and middle school science lessons."

Thanks Kimberly. Looks like a great resource.

Well worded response to critics of Twitter usage with students.
