Through three giant images, the GigaGalaxy Zoom project reveals the full sky as it appears with the unaided eye from one of the darkest deserts on Earth, then zooms in on a rich region of the Milky Way using a hobby telescope, and finally uses the power of a professional telescope to reveal the details of an iconic nebula.
Awesome interactive science activities geared towards use on an Interactive white board.
Welcome to the Virtual Cell Animation Collection!
This collection has been developed to introduce students to new concepts. By walking through the still images and movie included for each topic, viewers are in control of choosing the learning style that best fits their needs.
In the Radioactivity iLab, students explore how radioactive radiation changes as a function of distance. Below are all of the high school curricula that can be used to teach the Radioactivity iLab in different subject areas.
Curricula are available for the following subject areas:
PHYSICS
AP PHYSICS
BIOLOGY
CHEMISTRY
MATH
The following web2.0 sites would be useful for science educators at the high school and middle school level. Some would also be appropriate for higher elementary grade levels. There are many new 'tools' or websites that take advantage of the higher speed and bandwidth of today's Internet.
The Biology Corner is a resource site for biology and science teachers. It contains a variety of lessons, quizzes, labs, web quests, and information on science topics. You can find lessons related to biology topics in the links listed under “topics” on the sidebar. Topics include: Ecology, Genetics, Anatomy, Cells, Scientific Method, and Evolution.
"The Kid's Page is a project of the Science Education Center at Glendale Community College and provides games and activities for children around a number of themes including space, living things, energy, and more. Loads of fun learning experiences can be found here!"
"The aim of this wiki is to provide a useful set of ICTs and other tech tools for Science Teachers to utilise in their classrooms.
Each type of technology will be briefly explained and a classroom example will also be attached, together with a comprehensive list of links."
"Fun, interactive, research-based simulations of physical phenomena from the PhET project at the University of Colorado."
"Ed Stafford is walking the length of the Amazon river in South America from the source to the sea. He has been walking for:
780+ days
He started on 2nd April 2008 and is expecting to finish in August 2010. No-one has ever done what he is attempting...."
This site is maintained by Ms. Baker and her biology students. We live in the Northeast U.S. and blog about anything biology-related.
The American Association for the Advancement of Science,
"Triple A-S" (AAAS), is an international non-profit organization dedicated to advancing science around the world by serving as an educator, leader, spokesperson and professional association. In addition to organizing membership activities, AAAS publishes the journal Science, as well as many scientific newsletters, books and reports, and spearheads programs that raise the bar of understanding for science worldwide.
Knotebooks is a supplementary education platform that enables students, teachers and self-learners to effortlessly create and collaborate on customized multimedia lessons.
By making science visible, touchable, and accessible to a wide variety of people—at the museum, online, and in the classroom—our explore-for-yourself way of learning and teaching impacts science education worldwide.
