I have already collected a bunch of science-related websites to help me teach, so this part of the assignment was (thankfully) kinda easy for me. I really like MadSci Network because it has heaps of info that can be easily located on their homepage. Archived questions and answers, MadSci FAQs, Random Knowledge Generator, and more are indexed for you to make it simple to navigate. The best thing is that it covers all science subjects and topics and you can even ask questions to the hard working scientists waiting to answer you (they do have a few rules regarding this, but you can always check the archives too). Apparently, they claim to be 24-hour exploding laboratory, so there's always new, updated info and someone to answer your questions (so long as it's NOT your homework!), a library, and labs to help science teachers with curriculum and ideas.
I also love The Science Spot because it's geared towards secondary science and is easy to use.
I like it not only because it is so neatly organized, but also because it is teacher created, so it has proven resources aligned with state standards (Illinois, but standards are standards!), tons of topics, ideas, worksheets, lesson plans, and science club ideas. I still haven't visited each link on the site yet, that's how much info there is to see. What I have seen, I am excited to utilize and incorporate into my own science curriculum.
