While surfing the net, I have come across several great links to help teachers, especially Science and Technology Teachers locate resources for their class. I will be updating them as I come across more that I feel should be included. If you know of any that should be added, please send me a note and I'll update the list so others can make use of them as well.
Although a large part of the virtual version of the Museum of Science in Boston is a catalog of the current exhibits in the real museum, this site has much to offer the Net science community. The Museum of Science's "Online Museum" is a still growing, though nonetheless compelling interactive exhibit featuring movies, photos and just plain cool science. Educators will love to link to the Science Learning Network, a museum-based project creating science education resources for K-12 teachers and students.
If one picture is worth a thousand words, this area is priceless. The online counterpart of the Discovery Channel, the Discovery Channel School is devoted to educational information for and the accomplishments of children from K-12. Young people can enter the Harlem Diary Youth Media Contest to team up with a mentor and submit a self-expressive photo essay or enter Student Showcase, which asks them what it's like to move to a new place. A high-tech arena with real heart.
A site primarily for educators and students. Online exhibits include "The Heart: A Virtual
Exploration" and the fascinating "Benjamin Franklin: Glimpses of The Man" which describes
some of Franklin's lesser known passions. However, there are links to dozens of virtual exhibits
from other sources. The site also includes excellent hotlists of resources in the following areas:
energy, geology, health, space science and others. The Franklin Institute Science Museum is
in Philadelphia, Penn.
Electronic exhibits, news and resources. How to do your own cow's eye dissection.
