TimeTree
TimeTree
TimeTree is a public knowledge-base for information on the evolutionary timescale of life. Data from thousands of published studies are assembled into a searchable tree of life scaled to time. Three search modes are possible: Node Time, Timeline, and TimeTree.
TimePanels showing events in geological time and astronomical history are provided for comparison with timelines and timetrees. Results can be exported in different formats for additional analyses and publication.

Construct a Global Change Model
Construct a Global Change Model
This interactive module allows students and educators to build models that explain how the Earth system works. It can be used to show how Earth is affected by human activities and natural phenomena. Understanding Global Change is designed to focus on connections between broad interdisciplinary topics rather than a specific content area. As such, it strongly supports the system thinking and connections.
HOT TIP!
Be sure to look at the right panel on the Educator Guide for downloadable resources!
How Science Works
How Science Works
This interactive journaling tool allows students and educators to document, annotate, and reflect upon their own and others' scientific research process. The flexible design allows the user to map out a unique path through the process of scientific inquiry to document research and/or the behaviors and scientific practices relevant to any instructional resource.
Each step through the process of science can be annotated with text, photos, and files of any type. The program exports a PowerPoint file that can be used for assessment or presentations.
