" I am currently IB Bio, HS MYP Chemistry and Physics teacher, MYP Coordinator (and HOD Science) at Canadian Academy, Kobe, Japan. Before Japan, I was in Indonesia, as IB Biology, Science and Health teacher (and IB DP Coordinator) in Bandung International School.
I have a degree in Marine Biology from Queen's University Belfast, A PGCE in Secondary Science from the University of Exeter and am working on an MA in International Education from the University of Bath. Find out more about me on Vizify here.
This site serves as my students' online textbook or main resource."
"High school science teacher Kimette Witt curates this collection of her favorite chemistry, physical science, and general science iPad apps. And the best part - they are all FREE! A teacher's favorite price!"
"This website is linked to UNESCO.org and is free to download for educational purposes. It contains a database of school science experiments and investigations in physics, chemistry, biology, astronomy, geology, weather studies, agriculture projects for primary and secondary schools; and sexuality education and drugs education. It is based on a revision, updating and expansion of the "New UNESCO source book for science teaching", 1979 edition, UNESCO, Paris. It contains experiments from the "low cost" science teaching movement, simplified versions of classical experiments, experiments using locally available substances and kitchen chemicals, and environmental science. Some experiments anticipate experiments usually done in senior high school or college classes. The experiments should be "student-friendly" and "teacher-friendly" because there is no overwhelming technology. Enough theoretical background is included to remind teachers of the theoretical context of the experiment. Every experiment is based on materials listed in a modern commercial catalogue of chemicals and equipment for use by educational institutions. The procedures and safety standards are consistent with instructions issued by Education Queensland (Ministry of Education), State of Queensland, Australia."
"Bozemanscience is maintained by Paul Andersen, a science teacher in Bozeman, MT. He has created hundreds of science videos that have been viewed millions of times by students and teachers around the world. All of these videos are accessible from this website. Click any of the links to view videos within specific content areas."
"Could cancer be our cells' way of running in "safe mode," like a damaged computer operating system trying to preserve itself, when faced with an external threat? That's the conclusion reached by cosmologist Paul Davies at Arizona State University in Tempe (A.S.U.) and his colleagues, who have devised a controversial new theory for cancer's origins, based on its evolutionary roots. If correct, their model suggests that a number of alternative therapies, including treatment with oxygen and infection with viral or bacterial agents, could be particularly effective."
This site offers a growing bank of imaginative, highly visual teaching-aids developed for use with interactive whiteboards in 11-18 Schools.
The resources are designed to be used as rich sources of visually stimulating material, making use of both animations and drag and drop interactivity. The appropriate Key Stage is indicated for each resource.
It is hoped that the resources will help students to make sense of some of the more challenging concepts they encounter.
