Biology of Plants provides students with a clear, accurate introduction to plants as living things, plant growth, plant parts, making food, pollination, seed dispersal and adaptations.
FossWeb offers three sites with interactive inquiry-based science activities.
Thinkfinity.org, formerly Marco Polo, is home to an amazing consortium of web resources for education:
These sites offer excellent reference information, as well as links to online activities and other reputable educational sites on the web.
Smithsonian Images offers an online catalog of its amazing photo collection, organized by topic, for personal and educational use.
Browse or search through selected images from the Collections of the Office of Imaging and Photographic Services. Included are images from current exhibits, Smithsonian events and historic collections.Numerous topics from air and space, American history, animals, fireworks, minerals, technology, marine life and more… I can only imagine what a great addition this would be for students creating conventional or multimedia reports.
Years ago, I had the privilege of working on a grant from NASA with a great team of educators and programmers from The Center for Accessible Technology and InfoUse. This set of aeronautics and math activities, called PlaneMath, is the result. The intended audience is students in grades 3-5, including students with disabilities. The activities highlight aeronautics professionals who have disabilities.
