This is a great website for science simulations! There is everything from chemistry and earth science to physics and biology. Many of the simulations include links for learning goals, tips for teachers (from the PhET), and teaching ideas and lesson plans that have been submitted by teachers. The website has options for embedding the links into your own personal website or Wiki. Also, there are translated versions in tons of languages. The website is very colorful, easy to navigate, and user friendly.

This site would be an amazing tool to have in your classroom.  It offers a free trial but does cost an annual fee to have full time.  Gizmos are for 3-12 grade students.  They are interactive lessons that can be used in group instruction, indivdually and/or for homeowork.  The site offers training for teachers, is easy to navigate, implements technology and lines up with most commonly used standards and text books.  Students and teachers get instant feedback on assessment and progress.
