ALL Sciences
ALL Sciences
I'm starting things off with Equatio because it is one of the best Chrome Extensions out there. For the past couple of years I can't tell you how many times I have discussed with Science and Math teachers the near impossibility to type complex equations into Google Docs. Well not anymore!
Equatio allows you to easily type, handwrite, or dictate scientific formulas and mathematical equations in all Google products (Docs, Forms, Slides etc.)
Although not currently free for students, it is free for teachers. Get the extension here on the Chrome Store.

Biology
Biology
The BioDigital Human is a website that consists of 3D anatomy and models. Visit the BioDigital Human website HERE, sign in with a Google account and click Launch Human to begin exploring over 1000 interactive visualizations.
Note: Due to the complexity of these models, this website may be slow to load via wifi when using with a class set of Chromebooks. I would recommend pairing students.
BioInteractive is a great website created by the Howard Hughes Medical Institute that contains a plethora of Biology information. Click on the Topics menu to find short films, scientific lectures, teacher resources, multimedia, and interactive features on many topics.
Chemistry
Chemistry
Click on any element on the Period Table on this website to see a 5-10 minute video featuring that element. The videos have been created by the University of Nottingham and feature Professor Poliakoff whose wild hair and sometimes crazy experiments has made these videos quite popular (Their YouTube channel has over 1 million subscribers).
A great resource to show students experiments that can't be done in the classroom.
Earth Science
Earth Science
Now that Google Earth is available directly in your Chrome web browser, it makes it easier than ever for students to explore our planet. There are so many great uses for Google Earth in the Classroom many of which I have explained on my post about it HERE.
On this site you will find links to hundreds of lesson plans written by teachers that are built around specific ocean exploration expeditions across the globe. Features include the Learning Ocean Science through Ocean Exploration curriculum, a collection of background information and lessons associated with the Gulf of Mexico and the Deepwater Horizon oil spill, and the Okeanos Explorer Education Materials Collection.
Physics
Physics
The title says it all. MinutePhysics is an educational YouTube channel that uses time-lapsed drawing to explain physics-related topics in approximately one minute. Great for quick introductions, supplemental explanations or review of topics.
Developed as an online tutorial for high school physics students, The Physics Classroom website covers everything from basic to more advanced physics topics. The site includes detailed lessons, photo galleries, animations, problem sets, and a “Mind on Physics” section with over 1000 questions to help understand basic concepts in the classroom.
