Siemens We Can Change The World Challenge
Middle-school students across the United States are invited to submit
their solutions to environmental problems in their communities. Teams of two to three students from sixth through eighth grade working with a teacher will identify an environmental issue in their community, research the issue using
scientific investigation, and create a replicable green solution using
Web-based curriculum tools.
Smithsonian Education - Educators
Government organizations like the smithsonian are reaching out to educators and others with an online presence. This cool site has lesson plans and lots of great information for arts, science and technology, history and culture, and language arts.
Inconvenient Youth
Some students have started this to promote environmentally sound actions. This is run by students and I saw a little profanity on the home page.
College of Engineering at Georgia Tech
"Engineering and Computing Career Conference (ECC) is a two day conference for high school girls to explore engineering majors offered at Georgia Tech. The 2008 ECC will be held on October 23 & 24 at Georgia Tech's Bill Moore Student Success Center."
This is a great event to pass along to your female students who excel in math and science. To be held at my alma mater.

ExploreLearning - Interactive Math and Science Simulations.
I think we're going to see more companies that have valid, standards based games like this one for elementary science and math. This isn't free but you can have a free trial and try the games free for 5 minutes. I think that games are going to be part of what we do and smart textbook companies would behoove themselves to embed games as part of the curriculum for each chapter.
I wish my school could do something like this, another thing to look at.
Hunkin's Experiments (over 200 home experiments)
