The science topics include atmosphere, atoms, batteries, dinosaurs, earth's structure, electricity, energy, food chain, gravity, insects, solar system, land biomes, magnetism, photosynthesis, rainforest, rock cycle, seasons, sound, states of matter, weather, underwater world, volcano, water cycle, and many more. The interactive BrainPOP website could be used as a resource and incorporated into science lessons developed by preservice teachers for their elementary and middle school students. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=567194 Resource for primary and elementary teachers and students. These numerous games and activties can be accessed on the Internet at school or home. It also holds interesting contests and promotes positive involvement like community service. These games can be chosen by skill level or objective to reinforce. There are quizzes and tests included. A middle school section can be accessed also. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=82889 A simulated, animated caliper and ruler that can be used to measure nuts, bolts, washer, penny, and little cube with different accuracy and precision. What are the differences?. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=83499 Series of web-based human embryology animations that illustrate all aspects of development. include cardiovascular embryology, GI embryology, head and neck embryology and urogenital embryology. This material has been done with grant funding and the authors would appreciate you contact her if you utilize this site. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=79185 A socratic approach to electron interference, with support in the form of a movie showing interference patterns. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=90913 RasMol is free software for looking at molecularstructures. You must download a free PDBdata file for each molecule you wish to view. It is veryfast: rotating a water molecule, protein, or DNA molecule shows its 3Dstructure. Chime shows molecules like RasMol, but unlike RasMol, Chime showsmolecules inside a web page. Chime shows only the molecules written into the webpage by its author. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=80334 The goal of the NSF-funded Molecular Workbench has been to provide a rich environment that makes the atomic level familiar, predictable, and connected with the macroscopic world, and to understand the effect of such an environment on student learning.The Molecular Workbench is a molecular simulation engine developed for the project. It is a professional tool for generating model-based activities, and for annotating and sharing them among students. The Molecular Workbench has developed modular curriculum units for research purposes. Each module includes Molecular Workbench signature software, macro-micro connections and hands-on activities:Atoms in Motion States of Matter Aquatic Solutions In and Around Our Cells Monomers to Polymers Shaping Proteins http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=86762 From our friends at Project First, this is an interactive lesson website that teaches us about the aurora phenomenon.
