LEARNING OBJECTS for All Levels of Science: http://www.wisc-online.com/ListObjects.aspx • Use learning objects when: • teaching a basic concept • applying concepts in "real world" applications • checking and testing mastery • providing simulation • giving remedial instruction.
Science Education in 5 Languages including English and Arabic • Each SEEDKIT contains directions needed for students to run a project with a teacher. • SEEDKITS include • workshop overview and presentation • experiment instructions • training videos, in some cases.
Virtual Labs/Online Simulations** **Online simulations should not replace hands-on versions since there is a lot to be learned through trial and error with a hands-on lab. Simulations should be used to strengthen learning.
Blog of the Year: Extreme Biology • This site is maintained by Ms. Baker and her biology students. • “We live in the Northeast U.S. and blog about anything biology-related. If you have any content requests or would like to be a guest blogger, please contact us at <extremebiology@gmail.com>”
Free Tech for Teachers Science Recommendations • Biology Place • BioCoach activities allow students to visualize and apply their understanding of biological concepts. s. • LabBench provides students with pre- and post-lab reviews. Animations and interactive questions connect laboratory procedures to biological principles. • The Glossary is a comprehensive, online, easily accessible listing of definitions of the key biological concepts. • Biointeractive • Animations : Excellent! Example - Development of the human embronic brain • Interactive Resources: Example – Click & Learn • Virtual Labs: Cardiology Lab • Classroom Activities: Example – Mirror Tracing Activity • Videos: Taser and the nervous system • Ask a Scientist

Earth Science Mystery Class • http://www.learner.org/jnorth/tm/mclass/How.html • Every Monday between February 1 and April 12 students will record their local sunrise and sunset times on their Data Sheets. • Using this information they will calculate daylength (photoperiod) in their hometown. On the same days, students at ten secret Mystery Class locations around the world will also record their own local sunrise and sunset data.
Earth Science Blog: A Year of Documented Learning (6 May, 2009) • Review your blog entries and your table of contents in your Science notebook for the entire year. • For your final blog assignment, you will tell me about your favorite topic from each unit: • Astronomy • Earth's Atmosphere • Geology • Weathering and Erosion • Earth's Waters • Label each unit of study and identify your favorite topic. • Provide a detailed explanation (evidence) as to why this was your favorite topic. • Include a picture for each topic. • This is due May 15th. * Your last blog post should be to sign off from your 8th Grade Earth Science blog or to redefine the blog's purpose. Your choice.*
Another Great Earth Science Blog with Questions: http://jpiniat.wordpress.com/ • “In Death Valley national Park there are huge rocks with mysterious trails behind them. The truth is that nobody really knows how they move but people have come up with many theories.”
