This sizable collection of animations for undergraduate chemistry includes Quicktime, Shockwave, and animate GIF images. The utility of these for secondary classrooms will depend on your local curriculum, but the collection is extensive enough that it's worth a look if you're trying to find an illustration for a concept or principle.

From an exhibit at the American Museum of Natural History, this site offers an introduction to Einstein's work that mere mortals can understand. Einstein set the world of physics and cosmology on its head by showing that forces like time and gravity are variable, not constant. The implications of these discoveries let to the creation of entirely new sciences. There is much to learn here.

tag(s): scientists (72)

In the Classroom

Use this site as a research tool into the life and mind of Albert Einstein. Use the links and information as an anticipatory set for a unit on gravity, energy, light, and other topics available at this site. Don't forget to use your interactive whiteboard or projector so all students can see and participate.

This is one of Life's Little Lessons featuring Daniel Tiger. Use it to help young children "work on feelings about separation and independence, memory skills, developing self-control, and expressing feelings." There are three videos to watch and discuss, as well as resources for classroom use, and resources to share with parents about separation.

tag(s): emotions (71), social and emotional learning (197)

In the Classroom

Discover the delightful Daniel Tiger and his friends and family through these videos. Even your youngest nursery school students will be able to relate to the characters, images, and story in these three films. They will probably want to watch them again and again! Parents and students alike will benefit from the resources provided. There is also a Teacher Tips sheet that provides suggestions for helping children adjust to separating from their families for awhile. Be sure to use the suggested free, online book on the Teacher Tips sheet with your students and their parents.

This is the online companion to an exhibit that was at the Smithsonian's National Museum of American History. Take the virtual tour of the exhibit, check out the live butterfly webcam, or view movies of butterflies in action. This is a great online excursion for students who don't have their own butterflies to observe. The videos reside on YouTube. If your district blocks YouTube, the videos may not be viewable.

tag(s): butterflies (14), insects (63)

In the Classroom

Take your students on a virtual tour of the butterfly conservatory using an interactive whiteboard or projector.

Here's another great site from San Francisco's Exploratorium. Learn how researchers study the jungle, both on-site and in the laboratory. Users with high-speed connections will enjoy the Quicktime movie interviews with the scientists - further proof that science can be engaging, interesting, even fun. A few resources on this site require Flash, most don't, and there is a lot of information here.

This large metasite offers a well-organized collection of scores of links relating to the study and categorization of insects. Like most sites of this nature, there are no explanations of the links, so you may have to hunt to find what you're after. We've included this one because of the number of resources the authors have found.

This is a site for earth science teachers. It offers a collection of resources, professional development opportunities, and a huge archive of data sources for earth science activities. The site itself assumes significant technical capabilities on the part of the user, especially for the use and implementation of the data sets. This site could be a gold mine for teachers with the appropriate technical skills

NASA's Apollo program site offers a one-stop collection of resources about the American manned moon landing program. Users can select mission-by -mission accounts of the program's progress, with lots of photos and text on each mission. Because this site links to a variety of archival NASA content, the presentation can be very uneven. If you're a space buff, though, this one's a gold mine.

tag(s): 1960s (54), 1970s (30), moon (87), nasa (36), space (248)

In the Classroom

Use this site as an in-class activity during a unit on modern space exploration. Introduce this site on an interactive whiteboard or with a projector before allowing cooperative learning groups to explore it independently. To show what they have learned from this site, challenge students to create an online graphic to share using Visme. The text portions are challenging, so you should pair weaker readers with a partner as they research on this site.

NASA's Mars Participate page for kids offers lots of interactive exploration options and an interactive Mars viewer. Teachers will also find links to more extensive NASA classroom resources on Mars and plans for further explorations. NASA's web resources are huge, and finding suitable materials can sometimes require some experimenting. This site will certainly interest elementary-level explorers.

tag(s): mars (25), robotics (30), space (248)

In the Classroom

You may want to introduce this site using the subject Space Place for Kids at the bottom of the page. Use your interactive whiteboard or projector and show them the All About Mars and the different Mars Rovers (robots). Bookmark the site on classroom computers (or in a lab) to allow students to explore the Adventure Game to Mars. Choose from topics and activities on this site to use in class or at computer centers. Replace paper journals and enhance classroom technology use by asking students to reflect on their learning in blog entries using Penzu. With Penzu you can add images or your own artwork as illustrations.

This site offers a bi-lingual, primary level curriculum and resource set that integrates language, math, and science activities on several different topics. Available as both HTML and adobe PDF files, the site offers teachers highly detailed content, lesson materials, and examples for each topic.

Satisfy your interest in the weather with Tree House Weather for Kids. Designed for students in grades 5-8, this site covers Seasons, Air Pressure, Clouds, and Rock and Roll Weather (types of storms, of course!). Leave the sound on to have text read as you proceed through each section, or turn off sound to read independently. Explore the small activity section containing quick practice activities for identifying clouds, weather forecasting, and exploring the distance to the sun. Another activity contains weather comics with a template for creating your own weather comic. Be sure to check out the Teacher's Guide for many additional resources and teaching ideas. Your Spanish-speaking students will also benefit from this site, simply click the "Espanol" link near the bottom of the page to view in Spanish. At the time this review was last updated, two of the activities were not working, however all of the content remained on the site.

tag(s): air (28), seasons (59), temperature (34), weather (175)

In the Classroom

This is an excellent site for both in and outside the classroom! Use videos and information from the site to supplement your current resources for teaching weather. Create a link on classroom computers for students to explore on their own. Challenge students to create online, interactive posters, infographics or presentations using a tool such as Genial.ly, reviewed here. Have students create a word cloud of the important terms they learn from this site using a tool such as Word Clouds for Kids, reviewed here, or WordItOut, reviewed here.

Though this page is no longer updated, you can still find many activities to support your robotics unit. The BBC Science page on robots offers still another approach to the topic, along with its own collection of robotics kits and materials. We're unsure how accessible these might be in the US; perhaps our UK users will let us know more. There's plenty to learn here, nonetheless. Though the page is no longer updated, it is fully functional.
