Created at Los Alamos National Laboratory, this site offers a colorful periodic table with detailed scientific information on each element, along with notes on the uses of many of the elements listed. The result is far more engaging that one might initially believe.

The Froggy website is an interactive educational resource that allows students to explore frog anatomy digitally through a Virtual Frog Dissection Kit. Instead of dissecting a physical frog, students can remove and examine organs, view anatomical structures from different angles, and even play a "Virtual Frog Builder" game to reinforce their understanding of where organs belong and what they do. The site also includes background material explaining the science and technology behind the project, such as 3D visualization techniques used to create the digital models, making it a useful supplement for high school biology classes studying anatomy and physiology.

The University of Florida has compiled a listing of insects holding the record for the biggest, fastest, smallest, etc., etc. A good collection of insect trivia, as well as a potential starting point for a more serious exploration of insects and the way they live.

tag(s): insects (63)

In the Classroom

While some of the world records might make students a little queasy, (see the worlds biggest bug) this site would be an excellent way to get students interested in the study of insects. Share the site on an interactive whiteboard or projector, and allow students to explore it in groups. What would be interesting is to see how many record holders were local insects. Have students create a digital record book, including images on a site such as Bookemon, reviewed here.

What is the Space Race? The Smithsonian Institution explains that and much more. The Smithsonian Institution sets the stage for the Space Race and explains what the Soviet Union was. There are also articles to learn more about military rockets and the Space Race itself. As you scroll down the site, you will find resources on the race to get the first humans into space and the American programs during the Space Race. Finally, if you want to learn more about the Cold War, click on one of the featured articles at the bottom of the site.

tag(s): cold war (39), space (248)

In the Classroom

Students can create a timeline using Timeline Infographic Templates by Canva, reviewed here of significant events in the Space Race. Students can use 2 and 3 Circle Interactive Venn Diagrams by ClassTools, reviewed here to compare and contrast the United States and the Soviet Union's approach to the Space Race. Finally, students can continue learning about the Cold War using Kiddle, reviewed here.

This very well planned site helps you and your students understand and explore astronomy. It explains astronomy in everyday language. It contains a calendar of celestial events. There are also tips for everyone. There is also software and astronomy hardware for sale. The site includes pictures of many astronomic events, lists of astronomy clubs, planetariums, science museums, and observatory locations from all around the world. You can find your hometown facility and print it out in minutes!

tag(s): stars (78)

In the Classroom

Probably the coolest part of this website is entitled "observing," which provides helpful calendars, explanations and images of solar events that are happening soon locally. Refer to this site for upcoming solar phenomena, and encourage students to go out and observe on their own. If there are events in the area, assign students to observe and create a report based on what they saw! If students are able to gather images of the event, we recommend a tool like PowerPoint Online, reviewed here. This site allows users to narrate a picture, and could provide some cool presentations in class.
