The mission of Understanding Science is to provide a fun, accessible, and free resource that accurately communicates what science is and how it really works. This website is provided by University of California Berkeley.

The goal of the Science Game Center r is to demonstrate to teachers, scientists, museums, and parents the myriad ways games can be used to improve education in math and science.

The purpose of the Earth Exploration Toolbook (EET) is to support access to and effective use of scientific datasets and analysis tools by the educational community. Each chapter provides background information, supplemental resources, and teaching notes that enable an educator to use the chapter as is, apply it to other teaching contexts, and help students to explore and investigate a variety of aspects of the Earth system.

PhET provides fun, free, interactive, research-based science and mathematics simulations. We extensively test and evaluate each simulation to ensure educational effectiveness. These tests include student interviews and observation of simulation use in classrooms. The simulations are written in Java, Flash or HTML5, and can be run online or downloaded to your computer. All simulations are open source.

The Utah Education Network created a website full of great Science Interactives for the schools in their state. Thankfully, they made it available to us as well. The image to the right is just a few of their engaging activities. This link goes directly to the 7-12 grade Science page.

PlantingScience is a free online resource to teachers and schools. The program provides volunteer scientists, resources, and activities to support innovation in teaching, learning, and mentoring. Open education resources are shared for student-centered plant investigations that integrate scientific practices and big ideas in biology that meet the guidelines in the Next Generation Science Standards and other 21st century education standards.

We are a learning community where scientists provide online mentorship to student teams as they design and think through their own inquiry projects. The program is collaborative engagement in science education that crosses traditional learning settings: K-12 and higher education; learning in and out of class; hands-on and technology-enhanced.
