Science Teaching Resources K-12
Who We Are:
This site was created as a group project for
the course Educational Technology at Carson-Newman College, Spring 2001.
Graduate students who created this project: Wendi Anthony, Rebecca
Hamilton, Helen Morrow, and Kimberly Taylor-Large. Our assignment
was to research and create a web page with various science links for grades
K-12 to be used by teachers, students and parents. We hope you find
these links as useful as we did!
General Science Resources:
Kathy Schrock’s Guide for Educators: Science
& Technology
http://school.discovery.com/schrockguide/sci-tech/scigs.html
Reference Tool
Kathy Schrock's Guide for Educators is
a categorized list of sites useful for enhancing curriculum and professional
growth. It is updated often to include the best sites for teaching and
learning. This link provides direct access to the Science & Technology
subject section of the site. The site is sponsored by Discovery School
and offers excellent science teaching resources at all grade levels, as
well as a site search engine.
AskERIC:Science Lesson Plans
http://ericir.syr.edu/cgi-bin/lessons.cgi/Science
Lesson Plans and Units: Computer
based and non-computer based components.
This link is to the science lesson plans
available through ERIC (Educational Resource Information Center).
The lesson plans are organized by topic and grade and it is possible to
do a site search on a particular topic. Some of the lessons available
are all computer based while others have non-computer components.
The list of science topics is extremely comprehensive and useful to teachers
at all grade levels..

Specialized Search Engine
Randall Oelerich, site creator & web
master
This is a web site for anybody seeking
to expand their knowledge, to learn, and to explore topics primarily (but
not exclusively) related to science- for example: biology, chemistry, physics,
and mathematics. The creator of the site has a broad background in
science and computing so decided to make a web site with a limited number
of choice links and content relating to science and technology. Excellent
royalty free clip-art for science teachers and students to use!
BrainPOP
http://www.brainpop.com/health/seeall.weml
BrainPOP is a site that caters to middle-schoolers,
featuring things such as eighth grade divas Cassie and Rita walking you
through musical tutorials of academic mini-movies and ways to earn points
for cool hip-hop gear by on-line educational quizzes. The site uses
slang language understood by 6th-8th graders, and appears middle school
friendly.

This link is to the Science/Nature for
Kids page of the About web site. The page contains science activities
which are broken down by subjects, and includes a search engine which allows
the user to search by keyword. The site also contains a list of related
topics and a list of essential web sites for kids. Each subject has
many useful links to other sites which relate to their specific topic.
Although the site is designed for use by students, teachers will also find
useful classroom information.
