For those physics teachers finishing up projectile motion this time of year... I do a set of three "CSI: Crime Scene Investigator" forensic challenges with my students... easy to implement and fun to "ham up" a little to get your kids into it.  And a great way to get the kids to transfer their projectile motion knowledge in new and exciting ways!

Karen - thanks for moving it up - now it is totally sharable.  If Nic doesn't add his site up there I will - this is a really exciting topic you're looking for help on.

Nic - great to hear from you, man! Can't wait to get a BK update!

Thanks Nicola- I ordered some of the resources from the site - I love the interactive poster!

Karen,

try http://www.populationeducation.org/ for population resources -

great lessons, activities math and science related.

I think you can even get a free "trip to 7 billion" poster...

Hi Karen - can you bounce your question up above in the discussion forum (literally right above us) that way your question 1. won't be lost on the wall, 2. has a url that can be shared on when we crowdsource and 3. gives a nice space for resources and discussion! If you do that it will be exciting to broadcast this on our next CS!!!  Thanks for getting in the mix! Ry:)

QUESTION: I am looking to design a mini-unit on Human Population for my Environmental Science class (Juniors and Seniors in HS) - any great POP resources out there?

Hi Julie this list of resources is great do consider moving your wall post up above us in the discussion forum BECAUSE (drum roll) that way your question has a URL and a "reply feature."

Unfortunately, big ideas on the comment wall (here) are not easy to respond to and get buried over time.

When you post a ? or resource in a special interest group discussion forum - your "affinity group" peeps can give you feedback. Also, because diss forum posts have URLs it will be archived AND I can broadcast the question to the whole Ning for the Week in Review!

Thanks for all your great work - as always - please share more cool resources when you can!

I  am a fifth grade science teacher in Ohio and have complied a list of resources that I would like to share with anyone who's interested.  Although these sites are for my fifth grade students you could use them for grades 4-6.  I have catergorized them by topic (Earth, Physical and Life Science) and there are several subgroups under the specific standards here in Ohio.  The websites are spilt up by-teacher lesson plans and activities from a number of sites that specialize in STEM activities; kids' websites where they can practice or learn content (or just have fun and play); and resources like animations and simulations for smartboards.  I try to keep the websites up to date but there are 35 pages and hundreds of websites (I guess I'm a little bit of a website junkie).  Please feel free to peruse these websites.  I welcome any feedback and appreciate any good websites that you may come across. 

 PS.  The document was too long so had I had to split it into 2 documents

Science Websites.doc (that's part 1)  Science Websites part 2.doc

Hi Keegan - this looks really cool.

Two things:

1. you have a really cool project did write the post below in a way that is does not feel spammy - that said, double check our sharing policy so you're in the know.

2. Please consider moving your wall post up above us BECAUSE (drum roll) that way your resource has a URL and a "reply feature."

Interesting open source math & science media site sponsored by MIT -
http://blossoms.mit.edu/

Has anyone used this - have an opinion on the resources there before I bounce it up to the forum?
