__**Teacher Use**__
1. [] This website provides lesson plans for all grade levels and subject matter. There are many links to other information sites. It is a great resource for teachers. 2. [|http://www.nsta.org] This is the National Science Teachers Association website. It provides standards information, educational resources and links as well as some lesson plans. Lots of great information for Science teachers of all grade levels of science.

**__Interactive__**
3. [] This is the website for the Museum of Science, Art, and Human Perception based in San Francisco. It has many games and activities for all ages but mostly secondary science grades 6-12. It provides links to other sites for further research. 4. [] A very interesting interactive role playing site for grades 2-12. Most of the activities are for secondary grades and involve science math and critical thinking skills. It has thirteen different activities such as Deep Brain Stimulation, Stem Cell Generation, Prosthetic Limb Surgeries and Crash Scene Investigations. There are multiple steps involved and students can work on their own or in groups. Pretty complex but neat. 5. [] Another interactive site but also very informative. I love the BBC websites. They have different links for different grades and subjects and so many categories of science to check out. I like the brain game which teaches the names and uses of all the different parts in the brain. Very useful.

__Other Sites__
6. [] Looks to be designed for all users and focuses on Nobel Prize subjects. It has many science games particularly for high school students. It does also provide history for elementary and middle school students as well. I liked the graphics and the variety of information here. 7. [] Multi-subject website for all ages, it could be tailored to any age group. This explains many of the more confusing theories in science. 8. [] The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Association has this educational website which covers current events in our environment. This site could be used for any grade level and also has lesson plans to follow. The pictures are great and the information current 9. [] General news and information site-provides external links for research lots of great pictures. 10. [] A “Green” website, this provides information for mostly middles school to adult groups, but would be great for an environmental sciences course. There is tons of information on current global issues as well as the science behind our efforts to create a sustainable environment. Could be controversial but worth the note. 11. [|http://freerice.com] Just a fun website for all ages by the World Food Programme. Has limited use for science-just chemical symbols but better for reading and vocabulary. You donate grains of rice for every correct answer. Good for foreign languages, humanities and math. 12. [|http://www.mnh.si.edu] This is the Smithsonian Institutes site for the Natural History museum. It has many videos and interactive activities for all ages. I like the online exhibits, they have beautiful movies, great information and references and links for further research.
