Collections of Science Websites
Other people and organizations have put together first rate collections of science related websites. Click here to see what some of them.
 

The Association for the Advancement of Science and MCI have pooled their efforts to create a page called Science Net Links. This page focuses on a different science topic each month.

Joe Abrucato at the University of Vermont put together a Science Surfer website. This site has activities, lesson plans and links to lots of other science sites.

Access Excellence is a site devoted to biology education.

The Why Files tells us about the science behind the news. Updated regularly, this site has some real interesting stories.

Connecting to the Students Connecting students is to provide a listing of web sites that are worthwile for students to visit. This site is personally  made by  Mr. Dave Leahy, he did very hard work in the service of Net Educators. I personally recommend whole heartedly, to visit the sites. Also, this site has won some recent awards, for example: Sunlink Link of the Week: The purpose of this site is to provide teachers with links to quality, content oriented web sites students can visit, educational, interactive,sites for students and Internet ready lesson plans.

The Spider's Apprentice Spidap (as it's affectionately known) is not another search engine. It doesn't crawl the Web looking for new URLs. It can't find stuff for you -- It helps you find it yourself. The folks behind Spidap figure out which search engines are most effective (even rating them, first in brief and, separately, more in-depth). It also includes ongoing discussions of new search engines and their techniques.

The Yuckiest Site on the Internet  A part of New Jersey Online, this site appeals to kids in the most primitive way -- using the gross-out factor -- in a unique way to interest children in science. The latest feature of this award-winning Web site is "Your Gross and Cool Body," on human biology. Kids (parents & teachers too) can learn about why one farts, burps, snores & more -- with clickable questions, sound effects (oh no!) and interactive Q&A.

Global SchoolNet Foundation Since the 1980s (yes, pre-Web!), GSN has initiated, facilitated & integrated online learning projects for K-12 students. Their experience shows. Check out their web site (again) as its continually updated with new activities and features, many of which utilize CUSeeMe videoconferencing over the Internet.

Oswego School District (NY) has put together useful resources and links of science sites.
