Here are several of the websites that I use in my classroom during the school year. I am constanting accessing more of the abundant resources in some of them. 1. Several times during the school year, the entire class logs into this site: [|www.chemthink.com] It is a free download and the site maintains current class lists and a gradebook for completion of each tutorial and test on the basic proinciples of chemistry. We stumbled upon it at East and it is a wonderful reinforcement that can supplement classroom instruction. You must view an interactive tutorial and then pass an interactive test. The student must get 10 correct before they get 3 wrong or continue to retake the test. This site has been in place for several years with few changes. 2. This resource is HUGE: http://www.wisc-online.com/default.asp It has loads of interactive lessons in all content areas. 3. This site is referred to as Strick's journal. It contains loads of interactive science lessons. Many on earth science, which is a rare find. She constantly adds lessons to it, modifies it and updates it. http://leonard92.livejournal.com/ 4. The next site is an interactive periodic table of the elements which I use in physical science and chemistry in the unit on periodicity. http://www.science-park.info/periodic/ 5. We cover simple machines in physical science and make actual rube goldbergs. This site has several alternatives and offers many examples. http://mousetrapcontraptions.com/cool-machines-3.html 6. Berkeley University has an interactive teacher lesson component for high schools and some for middle schools. We have investigated and I am going to begin our 'online' chapter. I have selected to do the __Phases of Matter__ in chemistry using this interactive unit. http://wise.berkeley.edu/
