"Forensic science has shaped the world of justice, fuelling crime investigations and signifying the progress of modern technology. Forensic science of today covers :

* Modern computer/clay facial reconstruction;
* DNA fingerprinting;
* Autopsy techniques;
* Forensic anthropology;
* Toxicology and much more.

What more reliable method is there to prove innocent or guilty other than through science?"

Each section contains smaller subsections you will be able to access for further information.

Glogster™ is a Web 2.0 tool that allows users to create Glogs, which are interactive posters, about any topic they desire. These Glogs can be public or private and may be sent to a user’s profile at any major social network (e.g., Facebook™ or My Space™), embedded in a webpage or shared via e-mail. Teachers who are interested in integrating Glogster into their curricula will be pleased to learn that Glogster has recently created a space especially for schools. edu.glogster.com allows teachers to sign up for 200 student accounts. Student user names and passwords will be sent to the teacher to distribute. The advantage of Glogster.com/edu over Glogster is that once a virtual classroom is established, students will only be able to see the Glogs created within their teacher’s group. Additionally, they can only communicate with the members of the established school group. Glogster plans to add functionality to both sites in the near future, including the ability to embed to wiki pages, multi-editing to allow groups to work on one common Glog, and "master-account[s] for teachers which will allow them to edit student accounts and Glogs" (Glogster.com/edu).

This technology lends itself to differentiated writing instruction for students who require adaptations. Consider using Glogster for ELL students and struggling writers to gauge their grasp of reading assignments or as extension activities for advanced students. As an added bonus, Glogster allows students (and teachers) to meet technology standards by allowing them to create and work with multiple media formats.

This is an amazing site that involves data storage on the hard drive for telescopic data (don't know if that's from your own studies or from a supernetworked computer like the radiotelescope for aliens).

Key-Words for Science

A series of word games designed to reinforce the key-words used in Key Stage 3 Science. The program selects a randonm key-word within the topic and pupils have to guess the letters present. The guessed letters can be entered via the on-screen keyboard. Each time a wrong letter is entered a 'life' is lost. A list of the key-words used can be downloaded from the link below.

Hang-man or Wheel of Fortune-like activity making a game out of associating words with concepts. Has sets for all of KS3 vocabulary.

A useful visual prompt/aid for investigation. Key variables are selected along with the dependant variable. Basic modeling allows positive and negative correlations to be selected to allow a prediction to be decided upon. The key variable is selected and the tables and graph set up is automatically determined.

Interactive scientific investigation planner. Includes possible variables and their units, contolled variables, prediction and rationale for it, dependent variables.

FANTASTIC! "This site offers a growing bank of imaginative, highly visual teaching-aids developed for use with interactive whiteboards in 11-18 Schools.

The resources are designed to be used as rich sources of visually stimulating material, making use of both animations and drag and drop interactivity. The appropriate Key Stage is indicated for each resource.

It is hoped that the resources will help students to make sense of some of the more challenging concepts they encounter.

Many of the resources can be used to support starter or plenary activities.
