Here are some interesting sites that I’ve found this week,
thanks to my PLN. As a teacher, I feel we have to keep up to date concerning
research in our field and current issues in the education system. I hope some
of these inspire you, inform you, and even have you asking questions. Thank you
for coming by and visiting!

Learn Chemistry – “Learn Chemistry is our home for chemistry education.
Educators and students at all levels from primary school to university can
access thousands of free resources.” (L:G; SA:S)
Newswordy – “These ‘news words’ are
accepted by audiences for their implied meaning. But often loaded words are
misused or used out of context. The actual definitions can be different than
what is implied. Newswordy is a growing collection of these words, updated
every weekday. Along with each word is a definition, a quote with its use (or
misuse) in the media, and a news and Twitter feed on the subject. (L:M,H;
SA:LA)
DIY Sun Science – free iPad and
iPhone app; “DIY Sun Science, funded by NASA, allows families and
educators to investigate and learn about the Sun at home, at school, or
anywhere you go! Developed by UC Berkeley’s The Lawrence Hall of Science.”
