Forensic Science | Let Evidence Reveal The Truth
"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 – Poster Yourself | Text, Images, Music and Video
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.
Triptico | LinkUp Resource
Students link words to classification categories. Interactive whiteboard activity for improving learning and perhaps even reading skills.
Bringing Interactivity to Your Interactive Whiteboard (Teaching & Learning)
Resource list of sites, including interactive science, curriculum bits, great animations & simulations, physics toolkit, and NOAA resources.

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.
graphPlotter
Interactive simulation of graphing scatter plots. Enter labels for X & Y axis and units, then plot points by moving cross hatches to graph. Can reset points, red, and blue lines. Can also change scale of axes.
Feezeray.com
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.

Sumanas, Inc. Animation Development: Biology
Animated Tutorials: General Biology
Click on the icon to view the animation
This is really professionally done biology teaching. Each topic includes a written blurb, an animation, a text conclusion and a very short quiz to check comprehension. I tried Moss Life Cycles and learned something!
Other topics include meiosis; mitosis; evolution of cellular organelles; cellular respiration; reflex arcs; human embryonic stem cells; ovarian and uterine cycles; heat changes protein structure; mammalian kidney; independent assortment o alleles; construction of a recombinant DNA library; Life Cycle of an Angiosperm; The Meselson-Stahl Experiment; Harvesting Light; Translation-Linked Protein Secretion; Life Cycle of HIV, a Retrovirus; Gel Electrophoresis; DNA Chip Technology; Independent Assortment and Gamete Diversity; Nonspecific Inflammatory Response; Simple Stimuli Trigger Fixed Behaviors; A Pulse-Chase Experiment; Vesicle Budding and Fusing; Time-Compensated Solar Compass; Electron Transport: Aerobic and Anaerobic Conditions; Measuring Blood Pressure; Blood Flow through the Human Heart; The Synapse; Carrier Proteins; Action Potentials; Polyribosomes; Properties of Water; Activation Energy and Enzymes; Mistakes in Meiosis; Mendel's Experiments; The Scientific Method; The lac Operon
Crickweb | Flash Page
Interactive application that tells about food chains, introduces vocabulary, and gives three different ecosystems in which to construct food chains. Simple, NOT a food web activity.
Sunny Meadows Food Chain Game
Interactive game about food chains. Uses foxes, rabbits, and plants (not too different from Ecology Gizmo) and involves pictures, graphs, and biomass. Instructions found on 10 screens before clicking to play the game.
Electricity - Interactive Science Revision
Links to all sorts of interactive applications about electricity. Designed for revision at Key Stage 3 in the UK. Looks very promising! GREAT resource.
States of Matter
A mathematical model that visually illustrates molecular motion in solids, liquids and gases. As you change the temperature you can observe such phenomena as evaporation, condensation, boiling and freezing.
Free online curriculum resources | SAS® Curriculum Pathways®| SAS
Repository of science curriculum. Includes subjects like "Why do I get a shock when I touch the doorknob after walking across the carpet in stocking feet?"
Cling to Me
"Electric generators pull atoms apart and generate hundreds of thousands of volts of electricity. But rubbing your feet on the carpet while wearing socks can do the same thing! Make some static electricity and see what it can do." From Museum of Science and Industry Online Science Activities. Static.
Make a Circuit Board
Museum of Science and Industry Online Science Activities. Make a circuit board using String of holiday lights; Insulated wire; Wire strippers; 9-volt battery; small nails or metal fasteners; File folder; piece of cardboard; Masking tape; paper clips; Ruler; Pen; Paper
Illustrates a basic circuit. Students guess which completes a circuit using the board with wires hidden in back.
