Science Resources
Watch amazing video clips about biology and the medical sciences! Peak into the inner workings of the cell or watch short demonstrations about what you are learning in biology. However, watch with a critical eye. Videos are not checked for accuracy, so see if you can find examples of videos that come from a respected source. by Nick Reynolds.

This website provides teachers and students with several options. By clicking the Education tab, a page opens up with several links under Explore Chemistry and one link under High School Students. Of particular interest are two interactive periodic tables, which provide much information and easy-to-remember methods of recalling the elements and their properties. In addition, the High School Student link provides information about the Chemistry Olympiad and the ACS ChemClub to give students additional opportunities to practice their chemistry skills.

http://www.chalkbored.com/lessons/chemistry-11.htm
Chalkbored is a website that is helpful for teachers. It has a lot of resources about the many lessons discussed in chemistry courses. There are PowerPoint lessons, Excel Spreadsheets, labs, assignments, and worksheets that will be a great benefit to aid in a teacher’s lesson plan. By Dana Middlebrook
http://www.chemcollective.org/find.php
This website provides a boatload of activities for chemistry students and teachers, including tutorials, simulations, virtual labs, and scenarios. For example, it gives students real-life (but interesting) chemistry problems such as solving a murder mystery, generating heat for cooking at a campsite, or developing a new fuel for a space expedition. The website also includes online courses, video lectures, and concept tests. By David Sandlin
The Chemicool website is a useful site for students and teachers. It gives a great deal of details on the period table and every part of it. It gives the history of the periodic table and how it has evolved over the years. There is general, chemical, characteristic, and appearance information about each element. Interesting facts and uses are also given along with a lot more details. By Dana Middlebrook
http://www.concord.org/activities/subject/chemistry
This is one of the websites produced by the Concord Consortium. The site provides a variety of activities to be used by K-12 students for learning. It includes tutorials and interactive simulation to help students visualize chemical concepts and reactions. It walks students through chemical demonstrations and provides reinforcement of ideas presented in class. By David Sandlin
http://funbasedlearning.com/chemistry/default.htm
This website has an interactive elements game, which is a great foundation-builder for learning the elements of the periodic table, why they have their particular names and symbols, and some of their properties. In addition, this website has games involving balancing chemical equations, including learning how, reviewing, and getting enrichment. By David Sandlin
http://edinformatics.com/il/il_chem.htm
This website provides a wide variety of interactive applets, games, and tutorials to assist students in learning key scientific concepts. The interactive activities for chemistry allow students to visualize what happens in chemical reactions and experiments in non-traditional ways, to help reinforce the concepts. By David Sandlin
Hyperphysics
http://hyperphysics.phy-astr.gsu.edu/hbase/hph.html
Created by the Physics & Astronomy Department at Georgia State University for the use of high school physics teachers, this site is a treasure trove of physics content. It can be used as a supplement to your classroom instruction, and there is an online help desk as well to aid you in answering questions. The site is laid out as a concept map, so you can see the links between concepts easily. This site received the Merlot Classic award for its comprehensive coverage of most of physics, the creative use of multimedia and linking, and the impact it has had on students worldwide. Online tutorials cover a wide range of physics topics, including modern physics and astronomy. It currently averages about 3 million users per year, and is being translated into German, Italian, Chinese and Spanish. By Dennis Marshall
Physics 24/7
http://www.physics247.com/index.shtml
This site offers a multitude of physics problems with answers to assist students understand the concepts presented in class. It also has several practice quizzes (also with answers) to help prepare for exams. It also has a glossary of common physics terms with definitions and examples. The site was started in 2003 and is based in Canada. It also serves as a networking site to link you with a tutor, if you feel that you need extra help. This last is a pay service, depending on the tutor, most of whom hold advanced degrees in physics and/or science education. By Dennis Marshall
The Physics Classroom
http://www.physicsclassroom.com/
Developed by Tom Henderson, a high school physics teacher at Glenbrook South High School in Glenview, IL, The Physics Classroom was designed to be an online physics tutorial for high school students. It covers basic physics topics through the use of graphics and plain English so that it is easy to understand. Its only drawback is that it does not cover modern physics (quantum and nuclear physics), but it does cover every other topic mandated by the TN physics standards. It also contains teaching aids, including worksheets and photographs that can be used in any physics classroom. By Dennis Marshall
UnitConversion.org
http://www.unitconversion.org/
This site is an incredibly useful tool. It provides instant unit conversions for virtually any measurement. For example, if you needed to convert meters into feet, cubits, rods or even Russian archins, this is the site for you. It has over 2,100 units in 78 categories, from simple things like length, speed and volume to more specialized measurements like magnetic flux density and electrostatic capacitance. The site’s copyright was last noted at 2009, but I have verified the accuracy of the conversions, with the currency converter accurate as of July 4, 2011, so it is obvious the site is continuously updated. Not only could this site be helpful in a science classroom, it could also aid a student to understand a reading passage in an English or social science class when dealing with archaic forms of measurement.
