WMS Science Teachers

great summary of recent findings in static electricity. Readable at the high school level

if you have kids making posers, presentations, reports in class, this site has some links and tips for making clean, visually appealing, information packed slides.

another great infographics site with links to free tools to use. There are some really cool examples on here that even related to science (including a very funny Periodic Table of Fonts which has nothing to do with science, I don't suppose, but is cute).

great article for use in teaching of evolution or anatomy

Fascinating story about experiment that shows tradeoff b/t independent exploration and direct instruction

use this site to make really cool QR codes to use in class. one idea I found for how to use these is to assign a code to a page for your classroom text. give the kids the QR codes at the start of the new unit of study and tell them to "zap the code" when they get to a given section of the new chapter, etc.

Very interesting article about a normal man with 44 chromosomes. Could be used to add some complexity/depth to genetics unit

awesome advice on implementing pbl

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

Truly, bees have the coolest knees. 

Darwin's manuscripts were recently digitized and are available online for students to study how the theory of evolution came to be 

stunning glass sculpture of viruses and bacteria. artist's intent is to highlight the irony b/w things that can look so beautiful but be so deadly. teaching tool: allow students to really see these microscopic organisms, let you appreciate different shapes, dimensions

Bryn Mawr organizes this site. It has a lot of student generated work on it along with some really great links to some very focused topics/ articles in the sciences including sleep, computer-science issues, the brain, teaching strategies, etc. Well worth checking out. Some great hands-on student activities are included. content changes with pretty decent frequency

cool cell animations of replication, translation, transcription, synthesis, etc. Tons of different cell functions are capture here.

large library of animation of various cell processes

microorganisms, cell division, biology, lab, envi sci

Exeter puts on some of the best professional development conferences in the US. They just started this conference for bio teachers. Also, all conferences end with an incredible lobster dinner. 

could be good to use in bio class when we do bacteria. direct clinical application of bacteria. especially useful for adding to the "human" form we use to help reinforce clinical applications of the material we learn.

site for all of Adrian's classes with huge amounts of additional resources related to Chemistry and other sciences

This looks like a very interesting science resource site with games, animations and graphics for science teachers. It seems particularly geared toward bio teachers. You need to create a free account to access some of the resources. 

Great website for managing project based learning.
