    This site provides educational movies for K-3 students. Homework Help, leveled quizzes, games and activities for kids. Exceptional resource for teachers and homeschools. I use this site very often.

    What a great resource! Unfortunately, I don't think many high school students would enjoy this too much haha, but I appreciate it none the less. I've found that I have always struggled with creating things like the web site for young children so having this resource will only make it easier in the future to base any projects I have on it.
  • Tristan C on 28 May 12
     
    I forgot to mention that there is another site called www.brainpop.com , which covers more in depth topics. If you go to http://www.brainpop.com/educators/state_standards/ the site says it addresses SOLs up to 12th grade. This is not my area of expertise, but it might be worth a look.

    After I wrote the comment, I saw the brainpop.com site and was impressed with it none the less.

    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 don't have too many go to sites yet (I hope that improves in the near future) but I did run across this compilation of youtube videos related to science that I think will be helpful in the future. Given some of them are way too basic to use, but there used to be really cool look inside the cell type stuff. The original site shut down so I had to find where someone else posted the links on their blog so my apologizes if you can not access it at this time.

    Hey Eric- Thanks for posting this website- I was looking through the videos and happen to come across some that I think might be useful for me when I start teaching very soon!

    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.
  • anonymous on 23 May 12
     
    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.

    This site provides lessons on a wide array of earth science topics that kids can access at home which includes interactive videos, games, activities and lessons. It also provides great resources for teachers that can help foster creative lessons with the content. The website is a little confusing at first because each link (topic) will redirect you to another website (i.e. National Geographic) but it exposes you to different approaches to teaching the content.
  • Eric Byers on 28 May 12
     
    Wow! There is a lot of information on this link directly related to Earth Science. I am currently going through each link and writing down notes to help me with some of my future lectures. Thanks so much for the link that brings it all together so that I don't have to have a search overload for some of these great resources!

    This site shows STEM in action! Showing kids that STEM disciplines are not foreign to each other, but rather that the combined effort of many fields culminates the scientific process is paramount to the success of the next generation. STEM subjects should not be approached as separate entities. They are intricately intertwined with each other for the advancement of knowledge. The project shown in this video is an awesome example of STEM subjects coming together.

    This is a great tool for teachers to find great tools for Earth Science education- it provides lesson plan ideas as well as great interactive tools/resources that can be incorporated into the lesson plan. It is specific to Earth Science Education, but I think it is a great site for teachers to find a complied list of resources for individual topics in the discipline.

    I like to share the resources that I find with other colleagues and educators.  Building a website has allowed that to be easy.  It took quite a bit of time, but maintaining it is easy and I utilize Edmodo quite a bit, along with Pinterest to add to my collection of resources.
