__SCIENCE:__ __[|http://www.cffscience.wikispaces.com]__

[] Dinosaur Dig. Interactive website from the Museum of Natural History.

__**All Sciences**:__

__[]__ I drive you crazy with "Copyright". Here is a site of science images taken by students that you/your students are free to use!

__http://www.sumanasinc.com/webcontent/animation.html__ a complete animation gallery for science. Each animation comes with a written summary description, a narrated animation, a step-through tutorial (understanding the concept through a series of steps), and a quiz. There are a variety of main topics, each with several related animation modules. In the gallery you will find General Biology, Molecular Biology, General Biotechnology, Microbiology, Biopsychology/Neuroscience, Ecology, Astronomy, Statistics, Chemistry, and Environmental Science. There is also a Science in Focus section for animations that explain science topics that are in the news (stem cells, malaria, gene therapy, ulcers, antibiotic resistance, and anthrax). These are great for current event science conversations and understandings. [] is an interactive exploration adventure that encourages students to click on “life zones” around the world to find bizarre and extreme organisms that live on Earth. Students will also learn about what the extreme organisms reveal about finding life in space. As students explore they will learn about organisms that can live without sunlight, those with the highest radiation dose, those that are the most acidic, those that live the furthest underground, those with the strangest habitat and those that are the hottest.

With funding from the National Science Foundation, we have developed an interactive computer simulation for middle grades science students to learn scientific inquiry and 21st century skills. River City has the look and feel of a videogame but contains content developed from [|National Science Education Standards], [|National Educational Technology Standards][|,]and[| 21st Century Skills]__.__

__Project Ideas:__ Students could use Google Earth to show a close up of a place, and show the scale. For instance, they might start with a car in the school parking lot that is 4 meters long. Then they zoom out and measure 40 meters in the picture, then 400, etc.

Groups of students create a treasure hunt in Google Earth with instructions to go north, south, east, west, by various amounts given in scientific notation. The groups would have some kind of marker placed in Google earth on the spot and save the Google earth file. Then another group would try to follow the directions (using the line tool) and would know if they did it correctly if they end up in the same spot and find the marker.

Directions might look like:

Go N 1 x 10^15 nm Go E 3 x 10^-12 Tm Go S 8 x 10^5 cm
