Fun Stuff

• Virtual Owl Pellet Dissection
  Much neater than an actual dissection, with a variety of owls so you can see the variety of animals they consume. 

• Virtual Frog Dissection
  A short & simple demo of a frog dissection.  A good intro before doing the actual dissection in class.

• Net Frog
  Another "virtual" frog dissection site, much more detailed than the previous. Also not as slick, but worth the effort.

• Virtual Fetal Pig Dissection
  This is pretty neat.  A long and complicated dissection, detailed anatomy.

Museums Online

• American Museum of Natural History
  This links you to their home page, but below I've listed a couple of sections you should visit.

  • "OLOGY"
    The museums section for students.  Limited amount of information, perfect for an introduction to a range of topics from genetics to astronomy.

  • Resources for Learning
    More in-depth coverage of topics that are found in the Ology section.  Still geared toward students, includes articles, interactive games. 

• Exploratorium
  Famous science museum in San Francisco. 

  • Watch a (really) short movie that shows a sea urchin egg after it is fertilized.

  • Watch a developing zebrafish embryo.

  • Explore!
    

Reading Material for Middle School Students

• Science News for Kids
  "Science News for Kids is a new Web site devoted to science news for children of ages 9 to 13." Articles on many areas of science, based on current events in science.  

• Planet Science
  Planet Science is a website from the UK for science education. It has a wealth of resources and you can sign up for a weekly e-mail newsletter.  Science "Hotspots" are (true) science stories past & present from around the globe aimed at 11-14 yr olds ("Key Stage 3" in the UK).  They are available in PDF format and include suggested activities to accompany the stories. 

• Time for Kids
  Click on "Teachers click here."  Go to News Scoop.  You will have to do some fishing around for science articles on the topic that interests you: it's not categorized that well.  

• National Geographic Explorer (for Kids)
  Articles mainly on ecology topics, some space, some geology related. I'm linking you directly to the Classroom Magazine online edition for articles.

• Smithsonian Institute's Kids' Castle
  Featured articles and links.  At the bottom of the page where it says "Pick a Channel" go to the science section, then "Featured Articles."  

Advanced Study

• Online Biology Textbook
  Use this for advanced study of topics.  More detail and more pictures that your dead-tree textbook. Not a good place to start, but a good place to get more information if you are interested.
