Welcome to the science education website! Here’s your invitation to think about science, learning, and teaching and to find cool stuff on the Web that will make science more accessible and fun.

It’s an exciting time to be an elementary science teacher for many reasons. One reason is because the Web has many content sites that teachers can visit to refresh and expand their basic knowledge of science. As with any tool, with a little practice, the Web can become a teacher’s very own professional development service, accessible at any time with the use of a personal computer.

Our website contains the following features:

– General information about each topic and about the resources available within each topic.

– A collection of annotated links to a variety of meaningful science lessons and activities available on the Web.

– Topic-specific lists of links to websites that feature current information and resources for educators.

– Links to resources covering all the various standards in science education.

– Paperless method of completing homework or essays assigned by a professor. Finished work can be sent to the professor via e–mail.

– Virtual bulletin board where visitors can post and respond to questions and comments to/from a national audience.

– Real time chat room within each topic area.

All of the topics listed below are available to you on the Web—any time, any day. This site has been designed to help you learn more about science and get connected to science education on the Web.
