eduTecher
This site offers a plethora of different resources for every subject area taught in schools. Because I am in the science field I decided to take a look around at some of the sites listed on this site that caught my eye. These sites are
Extreme Science
This site is extremely interesting, not only because it is about science, but because it has 6 different areas of the science right on the website. So students who are interested in astronomy could look at the website along with students interested in geology. This site would be very helpful for studying planets, earthquakes, and geology. I would use this site for students to create a paragraph write up about their favorite subject and then have them create that object/subject in an art project to be displayed in the room. I believe it would be fun and interesting for the young budding scientists in my classroom.
Chemical Elements
This site is exactly what it title says. It is all of the chemical elements in their home place, the periodic table. I really like this site because it gives tons of information on the elements, more so than you find in an ordinary text book. It would be very interesting to have students search through the elements and then create a venn diagram that compares and contrasts the 2 elements they choose. This will allow them to see the relationships between elements in the same groups and periods.
Google Body Browser
This site is excellent for exploring the bodies muscles, brain, skeleton, and organs. It is very easy to use and understand. You can click on the left side bar to get to any of the fore mentioned categories. Also, you can click on the body to see what the certain area or body part is named. This is especially beneficial to students who are talking anatomy and physiology in secondary education. I believe it would greatly aide the studying of the human body. A very simple assignment would be handing out a worksheet to the students and having them click on each of the categories and the different body parts to become accustomed with the site.
All in all eduTecher is a very interesting site. Several fantastic resources are offered but sometimes it is hard to scroll through all the different subject areas and it takes time. But other than that I give the site a thumbs up.
