      Students in schools from all over the world can enter scientific data.  This is a great way to truly integrate technology with education - students can do "real science" and collaborate with their "colleagues" from other countries.  Great for biology, earth science, environmental science, etc.

    Pretty cool activity for 1st day of class - provides common experience for theories changing with the addition of new data

    Christina (Ms. Longo) did this with her students to illustrate theories v. laws. I think it worked pretty well.

    I am a big fan of the Wiley Online Library. Research articles are so important (and fun). I used this article as a platform for building my own spectrophotometer for under $100 (science fair project with my step-son). You would think that it would not be very effective in the classroom, but after analyzing gelatin solutions and plotting the data using Excel we got an r^2 value around .988, which is pretty good in my book.

    Yeah! I love the reliance on empirical data and statistics (R2, yes!)

    Graph theory is a visual way to represent relationships between objects. For instance, a family tree is the simplest of these. Graph theory is the study of graphs in computer science and mathematics. Software engineers use graphs to represent communication networks, data organization, and graph theory to market products.

    Great resource if you have students needing makeup or home-bound. Virtual Chemistry Experiments are a collection of interative web-based chemistry tutorials. The tutorials employ Physlets and Chemistry Applets to simulate experiments or depict molecular and atomic structure. The guiding concept is to involve the read in making observations and acquiring data, and then using this information to draw conclusions and infer chemical principles.

    I was a T.A. for a genetics lab course in college, and after an unexpected fruit fly massacre after they had made their second generation crosses I turned their lab into a virtual experiment like this one. These virtual chemistry experiments could be useful, just in case something malfunctions! Thanks for the good site.

    What do you guys think "virtual experiments" do better than real ones?
  • Tristan C on 23 May 12
     
    They are cheaper and safer. I like the idea of virtual field trips. Some of them are ok. They aren't always entirely directed at an SOL though.
  • Anna S on 25 May 12
     
    I find these are best as additional to traditional lab experiences or, as I posted earlier, I use these for the students that can't be at school for usual labs. Understanding limitations of their own lab technique and evaluation of errors does not occur with simulations. Similar to difference between multiple choice assessment and free response.
  • Eric Byers on 28 May 12
     
    I agree with Anna, virtual experiments wouldn't be my first choice in methodology for lab experiments, but there are somethings that you just, can't do in the classroom. Whether it is from limited resources, limited class time, or simply the experiment is too dangerous for the classroom, virtual experiments are a good alternative. I had a chemistry professor in my undergrad who was making a dvd textbook with lectures and experiments and there was a lot of cool experiments on the dvd that he would have never been able to do during his lectures.

    The NOAA EVL is a great site for accessing satellite imagery and animations of phenomena at the Earth's surface. All images and animations are public domain and free for reuse, so its a great resource for teachers to share with students and collogues.

    This interactive site provides links to THE NROC Project, Phoenix college, KHAN Academy, PhET, and STEM bite. The resources use digital media that incorporates lessons for science and math. Students are able to learn concepts and apply the skills needed to show their understanding of these concepts. Students are given assessments on this site that check for understanding.

    I've heard of this site but never used it before. Seems to be very useful, especially for math help.

    This is great. I always have trouble getting caught up on algebra in my classroom so I will have to use this.

    Computer coding is important to including STEM in education. This skill should be included in early education and it should build with each level of curriculum.
