Websites for

·
www.kidshealth.org – This website hosts
a wealth of information. I have used
articles in several different units including the human body and food
preservation. There are three
different levels including kids, teens, and parents. These levels help in differentiating within
the classroom because kids’ articles can be given to struggling readers. ·
www.brainpop.com – Students can access
this site (with a log-in) to view any of the video clips and their
accompaniments. Appropriate
experiments and quizzes are linked to video clips. Middle school students would enjoy Tim and
Moby as they explore the world of science.
Webquests that include this site would be meaningful to students. ·
www.cellsalive.com – Cells Alive! is a website that is well
known to secondary and college science teachers. The site offers wonderful graphics and
descriptions, as well as quizzes and models.
Students can investigate the anatomy of the cell, the cell cycle, and
differences between animal/plant cells. ·
http://www.sparknotes.com/home/mathsci/
- Sparknotes includes study guides for all subjects, though this link brings
you to the math and science menu. All
of the science disciplines are represented, and students can access a number
of topics in each. In addition to the
textbook and other class materials, students can use these guides to further
explore topics. ·
http://www.seaworld.org/animal-info/animal-bytes/index.htm
- Sea
World has a large listing of different species on this website that include a
photo, general information, and fun facts about each animal. Students
can search through an alphabetical species list or a taxonomic list.
The latter allows students to see what types of species are related. This site would be useful when learning
about organization of species as well as other ecological topics. |
