Use this interactive website to show scientific data about the Oceans of the World. The site uses Google Earth. Don't have Google Earth? Launch it by clicking the title of this TeachersFirst review, or request it from your school tech department--using this site as an example of why you need it! Manipulate the sea surface temperature, sea surface height, chlorophyll levels, and ocean wind speeds by clicking on the appropriate checkbox. (Be sure to click the box to show the legend bar as well.)

tag(s): climate (80), climate change (87), data (146), earth (185), oceans (146)

In the Classroom

Choose a parameter to display, such as wind speed. It is best to choose only one topic (data set) at a time and be sure to instruct students to uncheck previous boxes before choosing a new one. Use as an inquiry activity to look at various parameters around the globe and ask questions about what they see. For example, Sea Surface Temperature Anomaly shows areas of the oceans that are warming and some that are cooling more than others. Provide time for students to spin the globe and zoom in to look at where various changes are occurring and make observations. Enhance student learning by bringing these observations to light in class using Padlet, reviewed here, and brainstorm why the phenomenon exists. If you have an interactive whiteboard, display the Padlet so that students can see theirs and others ideas as they add their observations to the board as they make discoveries. Then, create columns in your Padlet to have students discuss and sort their statements into "proven" and "unproven" columns in the Padlet displayed on your IWB. Research what has already been demonstrated about warming and cooling as well as the potential impacts it may have. Compare these changes with other parameters such as chlorophyll to understand producers and their ocean environment.

Create a podcast using audio and videos clips featuring NASA scientists! Follow the steps to create the podcast, including writing a production script, downloading clips, recording your narrations, and editing. Use a digital recorder, camcorder, or your computer to record the audio. Download a brochure or bookmark to remember the links for creating the DIY Podcast. Click on the links along the right side of the page for great resources such as the DIY Podcast Blog for some great ideas. Several examples along the side include creating a fitness podcast, lab safety, Newton's Laws, Rocket Science, and Solar Arrays.

tag(s): podcasts (72), scientists (62), space (212)

In the Classroom

Provide example topics to your class once they have tried this site, and let them go! Podcasts can be used in any subject area. In math, have students "teach" the class a new skill via podcast. Rather than a traditional book report, have students create a podcast highlighting the main character, plot, conflict, or storyline or a book. In current events, have cooperative learning groups create a podcast debating a current area of dispute. You could record your assignments or directions; you can record story time or a reading excerpt for younger ones to listen to at a computer center AND from home! Have better readers record selected passages for your non-readers (perhaps older buddies). Launch a service project for your fifth or sixth graders to record stories for the kindergarten to use in their reading and listening center. Have your Shakespeare students record a soliloquy! Write and record a poem for Father's or Mother's Day (or other special events) and send the URL as a gift to that special person. Create great podcasts that can be shared on your wiki site, or blog!

ScienceFix is one man's blog to show the world his educational and scientific demonstrations. It is clear, straight forward, and entertaining. These video clips and explanations are fantastic. The site offers a great variety of topics: What Makes a Planet a Planet, Water Bottle Rockets, Flaming Dollar, Books Smash Eggs, Magnesium Reacts with Oxygen, Isotopes, and much more. At the time of this review, there were eighteen pages worth of science videos (and fun). This is truly a MUST SEE for any science class. The videos are all hosted on YouTube. These demonstrations would be great for science classes, students experimenting at home, or independent science fair projects. If your district blocks YouTube, the videos may be blocked at school.

tag(s): blogs (66), density (18), experiments (52), fire (22), motion (49), planets (111), rockets (11), space (212)

In the Classroom

Share demonstration videos classes of students on your interactive whiteboard or projector. This helps if funds or time for actual labs are limited. Or they can be used to show students how to carry out an experiment before they are unleashed into the laboratory to do it on their own. Challenge students to create their own science videos (sharing an experiment and explanation.) Share these videos on a site such as TeacherTube reviewed here.

Use this (site) project to apply puzzle-solving skills to determine how proteins are folded. Proteins are fascinating, but their structures are difficult to comprehend. Why study the folding of proteins? The folding determines how they function and has implications for human health and how we live with materials and the environment. Bring out thinking processes with this downloadable interactive. Each protein becomes a puzzle. Players manipulate the protein into the form that provides the most efficiency. Researchers are tapping into the potential of the human brain to identify patterns. Understand the formation and breakdown of proteins through game play. Identify the four structures in proteins and their role in the functions and specificity of proteins. Download is available for Windows, Mac, and Linux. You need to registerfor the free download.There is an option to "join" for a fee. However, this is necessary only if you wish to comment on the site. As a "real world" connection showing the impact of this "game," see this article about the discoveries about HIV/AIDS that resulted from Fold It.

Allow students time to manipulate this site and learn the structures of proteins prior to the discussion of the content of the unit. Brainstorm what students have learned to develop notes or major content points. Identify the specific proteins and functions and determine why certain proteins have specific shapes. Identify the roles of proteins in the bodies of all living organisms. Connect these proteins with proteins in the diet and discuss the importance. Determine protein sources that are more beneficial for the human body. Think you have found the best way to fold the proteins? Register on the site and discuss the pattern.

Consider creation of student videos or explanations of similar instruction in class using Vmaker, reviewed here, to place on the class site or blog; his video/screenshot activity will enhance student learning. Vmaker is an all-in-one screen recorder, video recorder, webcam recorder, and video editor. Use the Predator/prey interactive to determine which organisms belong to each category. Provide time for students to work independently then form student groups to discuss wrong answers and correct for right responses.

Promote environmental citizenship through this site's "green learning" units. The curriculum ranges from examining how electricity works, understanding the balance of ecosystems, to a high school unit on sustainable futures. Enjoy the interactive wind turbine and carbon calculator. The animation for grades 4 - 7 is engaging, and the video presentations for high school students on sustainability is powerful. Green Learning provides educators with an array of hands-on activities, online learning opportunities, printable materials, assessment tools, and valuable resources such as environmental experts to contact. Each environmental concept taught provides opportunities for real world learning, encourages social action, and advocacy. Teacher friendly planning tools can help meet instructional time constraints, students learning styles, and promote cross-curricular connections. The site is free but requires registration. Membership provides access to additional educational materials and a monthly newsletter. This program comes to us from Canada.

The e-Card project series (found under Programs) invites students to research a topic, write a persuasive letter to an individual they believe makes decisions that effect environment, then design and create an e-Card. Have your students share their work on the e-Cards website and view what other students have created.

There is a range of lessons and activities here, some more complex than others. You may want to choose a few that fit your curricular needs and then allow small groups of students to investigate one together. Have student groups make an online Blabberize, reviewed here, of things they discover about their topic, and later rearrange the items to "explain" their topic to classmates visually. Blabberize is a photo editing tool that creates talking animations from a photo or other image.

"Chalkbored" is an amazingly free resource for eleventh and twelfth grade chemistry classes. Lessons are organized into units such as Matter and Chemical Bonding, Chemical Reactions, and Hydrocarbons and Energy. There is an easy to follow key for what is offered with each lesson. PowerPoint presentations, printable worksheets, and accompanying experiments. This would be great for a beginner teacher of high school chemistry or for an experienced professional who would like to try out different things. Please be aware that this website is written by one author who has some strong beliefs about/against traditional education. However, the content of the website is far valuable and it certainly is worth taking a look.

This resource would be wonderful for an online chemistry course. The PowerPoint presentations could be uploaded and shared with students. The students could view them on their own time, taking time to properly digest the information. In a traditional classroom setting, pick and choose some presentations to share with your students. Try an associated lab in chemistry. The module is meant to make science easier on the paperwork end of things and more engaging with the hands-on activities.

Looking for an Interactive Periodic Table of the Elements? Use this free tool as one of the most customizable and interactive ones to date. Choose various parameters at the top of the periodic table to customize your view. Easily see the trends in the periodic table by selecting the appropriate parameter and watch the elements change color in proportion to the value. Use the Time Machine to determine the elements discovered (and not discovered) at that time. Drag the slider above the nonmetals to view their states of matter. View realtime data of 16 properties with a simple hover of the mouse. The slider also views subsets of data for even more information! View the orbitals of each element as well as all available isotopes. Choose Latin translations to understand the origin of the symbol of that element as well as direct information from Wikipedia. Can't find your element? Use the instant search on the site and the element will be highlighted. Read the About page for some common questions and answers as well as citing this resource and other user questions.

In the Classroom

Use this unbelievable resource for finding information about the elements. Consider using the site to first understand periodic trends. Allow groups of students time to look at the elements and play with the controls. Encourage them to question why the numbers change and what the terms represent. Knowing the elements is more powerful when they are studying the trends in the periodic table. Report group findings to the class to understand how the periodic table is arranged and what elements have in common with one another. Create a mindmap using a tool such as scribblar (reviewed here) or a poster (using PicLits reviewed here) of the trends of the periodic table for quick reference.

Comments

This is a wonderful resource to teach about the wealth of information compiled in the Periodic Table of Elements. I especially love that for each element it shows a revolving model of the orbitals, and the spins of the elements according to the electron configuration. Ana, , Grades: 6 - 12
