Rio Grande Wildlife Refuge
No full textThis investigative case is part of the Starting Point module. In this exercise students role play as professional ecologists working for the fish and wildlife service. Students must develop a plan to manage a new wildlife refuge along the Rio Grande River. The fish and wildlife service plans to connect forest islands along the river, which will become not only a new refuge but also a "wildlife corridor." Users can access information regarding learning goals, context for use, teaching notes and tips, teaching materials, assessment hints, references and topics covered
The Laboratory Notebook
No full textThis site provides well-organized instructions for keeping a laboratory notebook. In addition to the providing an overview of general rules and organization, the site also discusses organization of conclusions around three central types of outlines for measurement experiments, synthesis experiments and reporting of physical phenomena

Geological Society of America: Resources for K-12 Earth Science Educators
No full textThis page from the GeoTech Center provides a link to the Geological Society of America's page of educational resources for K-12 science educators. The site features downloadable lesson plans on topics like earth science, earthquakes, volcanoes, energy, environmental science, geology, maps and geography, paleontology, evolution, plate tectonics, rocks, minerals, mining, space science, water, weather and climate. Elementary, intermediate and secondary lesson plans and additional resources are available
The Strange New World of Nanoscience
No full textThis short film from the University of Cambridge introduces the field of nanoscience. The film would be a good introduction to the nanoscale, and the applications of nanotechnology, for students learning these concepts for the first time. Narrated by Stephen Fry, running time for this video is 17:27
Virtual Textbook of Organic Chemistry
No full textWilliam H. Reusch, emeritus professor at Michigan State University, published his Introduction to Organic Chemistry in 1977. Readers may purchase it for a list price of $137.74; or they may access the Virtual Textbook of Organic Chemistry, which contains nearly the same information online, for free, on this surprisingly comprehensive website. Here readers will find a fully operational organic chemistry textbook, divided into the two overarching topics of General Principles and Functional Group Reactions. Within General Principles, readers will learn the basics of Structure & Bonding, Intermolecular Forces, Chemical Reactivity, Aromaticity, and other subjects. Functional Group Reactions covers Alkanes, Alkenes, Alkynes, Alcohols, and many other subjects. For readers looking for a comprehensive, freely available organic chemistry textbook, this site will be a true boon
