Added 3/18/08 The Bugscope project provides free interactive access to a [|scanning electron microscope (SEM)] so that students anywhere in the world can explore the microscopic world of insects. This educational outreach program from the [|Beckman Institute's] [|Imaging Technology Group] at the [|University of Illinois] supports K-16 classrooms worldwide. Bugscope allows teachers [|everywhere] to provide students with the opportunity to become microscopists themselves—the kids propose experiments, explore insect specimens at high-magnification, and discuss what they see with our scientists—all from a regular web browser over a standard broadband internet connection.

Great site offers MIT curriculum and resources on the Internet for free. MIT has now created a new free site specifically geared towards high schools called "Highlights for High School." Thesite organizes resources in the areas of science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM).

The site includes more than 2,600 video and audio clips, animations, lecture notes, and assignments taken from actual MIT courses. The site organizes these resources to match the Advanced Placement physics, biology, and calculus curricula. Demonstrations, simulations, and animations give educators engaging ways to present STEM concepts, while videos illustrate MIT's hands-on approach to the teaching of these subjects. (eSchool News, December 4, 2007).

Instructional Activities Integrating Technology
The activities described here all take advantage of the unique features of technology to help enhance conceptual understanding of a variety of science topics. Additional activities are still under development and will be made available as they are completed. Print versions (PDF) of these activities are available at the bottom of the opening screen of each activity. [|Flower Anatomy] [|Exploring Seed Dispersal Mechanisms] [|Exploring Inheritance]
