"Without a doubt my most popular posts have consistently been science websites. Below, I have combined all the science websites that I have shared so far and have added nine new ones. Whether you have been following my blog, or if this is your first time, I promise you will find many great resources for your students."
Beth Dichter's insight:
There are so many great science resources online that it can be hard to keep track of them. This post provides a list of 50 websites, and each one includes an overview of the site. The websites are geared across the sciences and across many age groups. You will find resources for: * Astronomy * Cell Biology * Subatomic Particles * Earth Science * Geology * Physics * Chemistry * Biology and many more. Some may be new to you and quickly become a favorite resource, and others may be old friends. If you teach science or just love science have fun exploring this robust list of resources.

Should teachers be required to learn about the brain, to understand how neuroscience reseach has implications for teaching? This post looks at how neuroscience knowledge strengthens a teachers ability to "help all children build their brain potential." Did you know that new research on the brains' neuroplasticity shows that educators may "help students literally change their brains - and intelligence." Learn about what triggers student behaviors, how to bring neuroscience into education, why frontloading is more critical than ever, and find a wealth of resourcesto help you learn more about the neuroscience of learning as well as resources for your students to learn more about the brain. And if you are looking for a free online course on Neuroscience and the Classroom: Making Connections check out this course from Annenberg Learner: http://www.learner.org/courses/neuroscience/.

High school science teacher Tyler DeWitt was ecstatic about a lesson plan on bacteria (how cool!) -- and devastated when his students hated it. The problem was the textbook: it was impossible to understand.
Beth Dichter's insight:
The way one teaches makes a difference, and Tyler DeWitt provides us with a look at one way to teach science...so that the students will be engaged! You might also want to check out his YouTube channel at http://www.youtube.com/user/tdewitt451.

Wonderful video about the importance of keeping children engaged with science, over ensuring that every child has to know every single about a progess.

I've seen this TED talk before and it really hits the nail on the head for many students in science. Why would anyone want to pursue a career in science if all they get to experience are facts and figures with a bit of experimentation thrown in! I actually based my Literacy and Numeracy assignment on this. The learning experience for students was to develop a creative story based around a pathogen of their choosing. They had to include how the pathogen was spread, what it did to the person who contracted it (symptoms) and how that person was treated. It was aimed at year 9 students within a biology based unit of work. I would love to implement it one day to see how students respond.

Brothers John and Hank Green are two passionate learners reaching celebrity status on YouTube with their latest project - Crash Course. The YouTube channel features very engaging, funny videos from the brothers, where John discusses World History and Hank delves into the details of Biology. Videos are roughly ten minutes in length and are of extremely high quality. Slick animations, interesting locations and neat effects make for informative and captivating veiwing.
