The IceCube Neutrino Observatory is an engaging science resource from the University of Wisconsin-Madison that introduces students to one of the world's most unique astronomy experiments. Located deep beneath the Antarctic ice at the South Pole, IceCube detects tiny particles called neutrinos, helping scientists study distant stars, black holes, supernovas, and other cosmic events. The site features news articles, videos, photographs, interactive explanations, and educational materials that help students explore particle physics, astronomy, Earth science, and scientific research. Teachers can use the website to introduce scientific inquiry, careers in STEM, Antarctic exploration, and the ways scientists use technology to investigate the mysteries of the universe.
tag(s): antarctica (28), space (252), STEM (381)
In the Classroom
After learning about the IceCube Observatory, have students work in teams to design and sketch their own particle detector. Students should explain how their detector would collect data and what scientific questions it could help answer. Students can investigate the location of IceCube in Antarctica and create a map using Google My Maps, reviewed hereshowing the observatory, the South Pole, and other Antarctic research stations. They can add facts about climate, geography, and scientific research conducted there. Older students can examine IceCube data visualizations and graphs from the website. Students can identify patterns, make observations, and discuss how scientists use evidence to draw conclusions about events occurring in space.You must be registered and logged in to add items to your favorites.

MendelWeb is a rich hypermedia site that integrates the study of elementary mathematics (i.e. probability and statistics), classical genetics, European history, and the history of early modern biology. It is geared to both the high school/AP teacher and student. The section entitled "Secondary Sources and Tools" provides additional ideas and activities for use in the classroom. Noteworthy is the "Mendelroom" a virtual space designed for teachers and students who wish to share their experiences and ideas when using MendelWeb.
tag(s): genetics (84), probability (133), statistics (127)
In the Classroom
Introduce this site with a projector or on an interactive whiteboard to show students how to navigate. Suggestion - start with "Experiments in Plant Hybridization." The English Hypertext is a glossary. Then, in your flipped or blended classroom (or at a computer center), have students explore assigned sections of Experiments in Plant Hybridization on their own. Ask students to create their own concept maps sharing their learning and understanding using MindMup, reviewed here. Take this a step further and allow pairs or small groups of students share what they learned with their peers using an interactive infographic like Canva, reviewed here. Students can keep their work for future reference in a digital portfolio such as DIY, reviewed here. If your students are already familiar with the content of "Experiments in Plant Hybridization," use the tool suggestions as above for the "Secondary Sources and Tools" section.Add your comments below (available only to members) | Become a Member

Wordwall's Coin Identification Games are interactive, browser-based activities that help students practice recognizing and naming coins through matching games, quizzes, spinning wheels, and other engaging formats. Teachers can choose from a variety of ready-made activities focused on pennies, nickels, dimes, quarters, and money values, making it easy to reinforce financial literacy and early math skills. The games are simple to use on classroom devices, interactive whiteboards, or during centers. They can provide quick review, independent practice, or small-group reinforcement in a fun and motivating way.
tag(s): coins (12), game based learning (323), money (114)
In the Classroom
Use the games during math centers, where students rotate through different coin-identification challenges. Students can practice recognizing coins, matching values, and improving speed and accuracy while working independently or with partners. Pair the digital activities with hands-on manipulatives by giving students real or plastic coins to match those shown in the game. Students can sort, count, and build matching amounts after each round. Create a classroom money challenge where students complete a digital game and then record their scores, mistakes, or strategies in a math journal. Students can reflect on which coins were easiest or most difficult to identify and explain why.Add your comments below (available only to members) | Become a Member

Explore practical ways to use Google Maps and Google Earth through this short collection of video tutorials. The playlist demonstrates mapping and tour-building techniques, including creating a custom Google Map and developing tours with Google Earth or Google Maps. These step-by-step videos can support teacher professional learning or introduce students to digital mapping before they begin a geography, history, science, or community-research project. Because interfaces and features change, teachers should preview each tutorial and compare the directions with the current version of the tool. If your district blocks YouTube, the videos may not be viewable.

In the Classroom
Allow students to create collaborative drawings as responses to literature. They can map out the plot or themes, add labels, create character studies, and more. Share the finished products on an interactive whiteboard, projector, or your class website. Have a group of students create a drawing that another group can use as a writing prompt. Use Web Whiteboard as a brainstorming or sketching space for groups or the class to share ideas for a significant project or to solve a real-world problem. Use this site with students in a computer lab (or on laptops) to create a drawing of the story's setting as it is read aloud. As a creative assessment idea, have students draw out a simple cartoon with stick figures to explain a more complex process, such as how a democracy works. If you are lucky enough to teach in a BYOD setting, use Web Whiteboard to demonstrate and illustrate any concept while students use the chat and drawing tools to interact in real time. If you are studying weather, have students diagram the layers of the atmosphere and the processes that occur during a thunderstorm. Introduce this tool to students who are working on group projects. Alternatively, have students use this to work with partners or in small teams to complete complex math problems or equations. Give students a problem by typing it on their board. Then have them work through it together, noting all their reasoning and steps along the way.Add your comments below (available only to members) | Become a Member

This applet is perfect for practicing finding the area and perimeter of regular and irregular shapes. After a shape is shown, there are boxes to input the answer to the area and perimeter of the provided shape. Options are also provided to adjust the size of shapes, to allow only rectangular shapes, and to allow scoring. The learner portion of the site provides an overview of area and perimeter. Be sure to check out the instructor section for links to standards, information for classroom use, standards addressed, and links to similar resources. There is also a printable exploration questions worksheet that can be used in the classroom.

In the Classroom
Introduce this site on your interactive whiteboard or projector. Then have students complete the exploration questions either on their own or with a partner. After exploring the site, have students create their own shapes for other students to solve for area and perimeter. Ask students to write in their math journals about how the different shapes create differences in area and perimeter. Create a link on your classroom website or blog for students to practice at home.Add your comments below (available only to members) | Become a Member
