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).

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.

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
