Creating the dynamic classroom – A Handbook for Teachers

Ø  Susan Schwartz

Ø  Mindy Pollishuke

Here is a collection of web sites that I used and think may be useful. I posted one for each subject and then also 6 additional web-sites that you can use for any Science subject in Intermediate / High School classes.

CHEMISTRY

http://www.rsc.org/

The Royal Society of Chemistry boasts to be one of the largest organizations in Europe for advancing Chemistry. (Can’t argue with that)  What I really liked about this web site is how resourceful it is….something for everyone, teachers, students and scientist….make sure that you check out their CHEMISTRY GAMES….my favourite was the “ identify the element” game…..Hook your students to Chemistry!!!!

PHYSICS

http://www.physicsclassroom.com/

I used this web site a lot for my concept presentation. It includes animations, detailed explanations and it is geared towards high school students.  They have a tutorial, multimedia studio and Physics Help section. Go Physics Go! 

BIOLOGY

http://science.nhmccd.edu/biol/animatio.htm

This web site has plenty animations that you can look at. It is basically a collection of Science animation, movies and interactive tutorials. Not all of them work, but exploring around is definitely worth your time. Bring life to your Bio teaching!

Science web-sites- apply all subjects

HOT TOPICS-BBC

http://www.bbc.co.uk/science/hottopics/

My FAVOURITE web site! It is a great way to make connections between Science and what teenagers like to talk about. Ever wonder why Superman is like a plant? (Link to Bio) What the physics of throwing a football is? What the chemical composition of chocolate is? Want to know more about love? Cosmetics? Cell phones? Etc...…. GO CHECK IT OUT! Don’t delay!

BBC LEARNING

http://www.bbc.co.uk/schools/websites/16/

I have great respect for the BBC web-site! Even though it is not tightly linked to our Ontario curriculum, their revision web site is age appropriate and good student resource for Physics, Biology and Chemistry.  I used it even in middle school because I found it to be a good interactive site.

NASA

http://www.nasaexplores.com/previous_topics/previous_all.php

NASA is an excellent resource for Science teacher, they have ready to use Lesson/ Unit plan for all Science teachers. Most Physics teachers drool over this site ;)  I posted a link that has articles and ready to use activities, but feel free to explore their web-site.

SCIENCE NEWS

http://www.cbc.ca/science/

http://www.nytimes.com/pages/science/index.html

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/science/nature/default.stm

Want to make connections between Science and Literacy. At these 3 respectable news web-sites you can find the latest news related to Science. I browse these sites every once in a while and collect articles that I think might be useful.
