We have JUST finished our reviewing our science curriculum as this was up in our seven year cycle. I wanted to share some of the science sites that I either came across, or others shared with me that we are going to be using and I really like them, too:)!
1. CK12 - This one is NOT new to use - BUT I FORGOT ABOUT IT!!! Their have open source and FREE, yes FREE, materials for use, adaptation and change. There is SO much great information here not just on Science - give it a shot.
2. Rozzy - Science is infused in the real world with Rozzy. There are lesson plans, videos, magazine, writing extensions, you name it. AND at only $99/year per teacher, this one is a gem. Again, not only for Science, but STEAM and Social Studies as well.
3. Generation Genius - I would definitely say that this website is geared for K-4, anything after that, even though it says 6-8 on there, I would stay away from the videos for sure. However, at $795 a year for a school, it's one that is worth checking into and might have some great merit to it.
4. How Stuff Works - I LOVE THIS ONE!! "Easy to understand answers and explanations of how things work in the world" is what their website says, and I agree. They have beautiful graphics, videos and great information on a TON of science related fields. You will enjoy this one!!
5. Science Kids - Although this site doesn't have EVERYTHING you would need, it DOES offer some really great experiments and lesson ideas for a variety of science related topic and themes.
6. NOVA - PBS and NOVA education have this site that is great. Again, a ton of great videos to explain how and why things happen in our world. There are a variety of topics and even have a specific education area.
That's it for today - check some of these out - it will be worth your time!
Happy Tuesday all,
Mrs. I:)
