Bring out the inner scientist in all your students with our scientifically accurate models and activities.
Biology
NSF (National Science Foundation)
The National Science Foundations's Web site gives us answers to many biological questions. Beautiful images can ignite the interest of all ages.
The Biology Corner is a resource site for biology and science teachers and students. It contains a variety of lessons, quizzes, labs, web quests, and information on science topics for all levels, including introductory life science and advanced placement biology.
Sounds odd, but this robust site hosted by Stanford University utilizes sea urchins as an engaging entry point to life science concepts ranging from basic biology (introductory microscopy and predator-prey relationships) to university-level curriculum (gene function in embryos).
Earth Science
NASA
A visually stunning way to get kids interested in science and space exploration. There is alot of info on this site and it may require guidance to help kids find the most relevant information to their current course of study, report topic, or current event. It is an app - Platforms: iPad, iPhone, iPod Touch
While viewing the video collection is passive, the videos do take students to many places, introduce them to all kinds of people, and invite them to see science in action.
Footprint calculator
This collection includes all the major map based concepts found in a typical middle or high school earth science course– topography, earthquakes, volcanoes, oceans, weather, and climate.
Free online curriculum lessons were developed for five days of classroom instruction and include one or more Earth systems models plus assessment items.
