This phenomenal website is all about levers. The website provides information about levers and how we use them everyday. It also has an awesome interactive challenge that requires Shockwave. The interactive is a challenge to use a lever to raise one end of an obelisk three feet off the ground. There is a teacher's guide that provides a detailed lesson plan. Check it out! Be sure to look at the non-Shockwave version.

Find great videos to use as an introduction to a unit or to help clarify how a certain process occurs using these visualizations. Use videos on an interactive whiteboard or with a projector. Pause through the video to ask questions about what is happening in the process, explain processes, or have students be able to use appropriate vocabulary to explain. This site is excellent for enrichment. Include it on your class web page for students to access both in and out of class. Challenge students to create their own simple videos to help explain a science concept.
