some incredible labs, handouts, etc. for elem - high school. includes chemistry, physics, biology, and envi sci ideas.

Interesting site. Linked to a book but has lots of ideas for classroom work, labs, student activities that don't require use of their book. Some interesting thoughts on pre-assessment and ways to accomplish that.

Many science educators advocate conceptual or qualitative physics, the notion that physics is best taught not by mathematical formulae, but rather through experiments, labs, demonstrations, and visualizations which help students understand physical phenomena conceptually. Consistent with the Physics First curricular movement, this perspective maintains that a deep, fundamental understanding of physics provides a solid basis for future science learning.

Interesting experiment to explore the insulating properties of different materials. 

has a cool looking case study on Red Bull for macromolecules. plus lots of other case study ideas for mini-research projects for students. includes lab handouts, answer keys, etc.

This looks like an interesting site to include in a project-based approach to teaching. The cases may lend themselves well to interdisciplinary work and more extensive projects that will interest students. Let me know what the CFT can do to help.

Awesome collection of case studies for science teaching. 

awesome reference on uncertainty
