Content: Awesome images from
the Galileo Spacecraft of Jupiter, its moons, and some
miscelaneous items. For information about the mission itself and
the scientific data collected, visit Galileo
Project information.
Content: Some wonderful video
clips and images made by the Hubble Space Telescope in both Mac
(QuickTime) and PC (MPEG) formats. Some files are very large and
require a lot of time to download. The clips are well worth the
wait!
Content: This site gives a
number of hyperlink sites that shows both video clips (need to
install MPEG for PCs) and the explanations that go with them. I
was not able to download MPEG because I am using a Mac at the
moment, but this site seems like a wonderful site for seeing the
effects of black holes and neutron stars.
Content: Imagine being able
to see any planet or any moon from the vantage point of any planet
or any moon!! There are many parameters you can control, but it is
simple to use. And very cool!
Content: Although the data
and lingo may not make much sense to many, you can still find out
the latest information about any planets that have been
discovered! It is worth searching around!
Content: A tremendous amount
of resources about the elements! Completely interactive. Valuable
for studying or presenting about the elements. Information about
compounds, too.
Audience: For anyone,
although young children may not understand the significance of his
work.
Content: This is an
essential site for teachers or students who want to gather
information about this scientific genius. There are many pictures,
explanations, and even audio clips of Einstein's actual voice (if
you have the right plug-in). A must see!
Audience: For anyone,
although high school students will benefit the most.
Content: This is an essential
site for teachers and students who want to learn more about this
16th century scientific genius. The museum features pictures of
each apparatus that he used including explanations. Very
valuable
Rice University also
has a valuable site that includes valuable background information
and lab activities based on Galileo's work.
Content: For the latest in
science in the news! Sound clips and printouts are available of
every episode in the past. Don't miss the "Periodic
Table of Poetry" that
only a truly mad chemistry teacher would love!
Content: This is a great
museum in Detroit, Michigan. It does not just involve cars, but
history and culture as well. My favorite places to visit involved
Thomas
Edisonand
the
Wright Brothers.
Content: A great organization
for demonstrating how science and the Biblesupport
each other. There are a lot of great resources and links to
valuable sites. Founder, Fred Heeren, wrote a great book titled,
Show Me God.
Content: Astronomer and
minister, Dr. Hugh Ross, is the president of Reasons to Believe,
which is the best organization that I know of for
demonstrating how science and the Biblesupport each
other. Dr. Ross relates Christianity to the very latest scientific
discoveries. His latest book is titled, The Genesis
Question, which explores the first 11 chapters of the book of
Genesis and relates it to the latest scientific
findings.
Content: This site lists a
number of interesting simulations with some control over the
parameters. Great for demonstrating physics applications! You will
need to download Macromedia Shockwave. I did not have any problems
downloading it.
Content: Dr. Christie has one
of the best home pages anywhere!! There are oodles of
resources and links to great sites. Also included are the home
pages and web quests of former students. All teachers should spend
an evening exploring all the resources at her home page. It
is worth it!!
