Wonderful student site with educational games and simulations to help primary science learners.

This is a site that I have used for years. There are many lesson plans, resources, and ideas for middle school science teachers. It even has a free alphabetical science term border for your classroom.

This website is directed mainly at gender differences and how to involve both sexes into your science classroom. The links are mainly to pdf's but a few web links are included. Within the pdf's are ideas based on research on how to empower females and males equally within science.

Organized resources for addressing gender stereotypes in Science.

A web site with a multitude of science tools separated by appropriate grades. There are too many tools to describe, but they cover all the areas of science, and all have huge potential in the classroom.

Website containing great project ideas and set-ups for projects that students can participate in to learn about science.

Full Option Science System. Website for science teachers with online resources and online activities for students. Free with a teacher user/pass. Good smartboard and interactive activities students can participate in. Contains links or other info related to the topics for inquiry.

Funded by a grant from the National Science Foundation (link: www.nsf.gov), SciTrain works to help high school science and mathematics teachers provide the highest quality education to students with disabilities. The project includes research, instruction for teachers on how to make their coursework, classrooms and labs more accessible, and information resources for teachers including assistive technology for their courses."

This web site takes students through a scientific investigation about a large number of absences in a school district. Students work through the scientific method by looking at data, doing research, coming up with hypotheses, and drawing conclusions to determine what is making students in a school district absent. Very well explained for the teacher to implement.

This site totally rocks! I love science as inquiry, and this gives you a great activity to put best practices to use.

Primary educational science resource.

Great science educational resource for primary students.

For secondary students. My eighth graders love Bill Nye. This is a good web site for Bill's daily log and weekly quiz. Students will use their reading skill to follow the interesting science created on this website.

A web site devoted to many things considered "extreme" in several different branches of science (from the very small, the the very big). Contains many different tools a resources students can use. A remarkable amount of information on scientific extremes is available.

A large collection of reference resources organized into categories. There are animations, calculators, data bases, readable science journals (in Frank Potter's resources), and even college level video lecture series in Physics- just in case you didn't get enough of it in high school.

This is a great resource for Astronomy or Earth Science. Students have access to podcasts, NASA news, pictures from the Hubble Telescope, and activities.

This site offers a bullet point list of science safety tips broken down into different areas of technology.

This "game" allows kids to participate in a science mission lead by scientists. They investigate if and why there is an increase in the shark population in an area. Information is incorporated in the game using online resources and video. They actually have to count the sharks in the area- so they have to go through stages in the scientific method. I think students will love this.

Triptico offers many different activities for reading, math, science, and classroom management. Everything is free. The tools on this site are particularly useful with an interactive white board.

Glogster is a free service that allows you to create a multimedia poster. Glogs can include images, audio, and video. Direct integration with SchoolTube makes video embedding easy. The education version of the site keeps students isolated from general user content. Students can use this as an alternative to reports, to give presentations, or to react to literature (among countless other uses).

A valuable teaching tool that integrates diverse core subjects including math, science, history, art, photography, music and more for individual learner portfolios, unique alternative assessments, and differentiated instructional activities.

Virtual Field Trips is a website that takes teachers and students on field trips via the internet. Categories are Career Technical, Fine Arts, Foreign Language, Health and PE, Language Arts, Math, Library media, Professional Development, Science, Social Studies, Technology and Other. As I searched around it looked like several of the field trips use our Sea Monkey as their web site composer of choice. Uen.org is the URL. At the bottom of the page we can click on "contact us" which takes us to a page where we can put in our contact information so they can get back to us. There is an 800 number to call. The website is based in Utah. Uen stands for Utah Education Network partnered with Utah State Office of Education and Higher Ed Utah, which is in Salt Lake City.
