Life Science

 

1.  MiddleSchoolScience.com - Lesson Plans – Est. 1997

http://www.middleschoolscience.com

 

This site was created by a former teacher.  The site is set up very well.

There are many subject areas to choose from in the field of Science.

My area of teaching is Life Science.  This site provides many different

lessons, labs, activities and projects  for my grade of teaching.  Some of

the topics include cells, genetics, microscope, classification, insects, plants,

and much more.  All of which are very valuable to me, especially when you

want alittle change of pace from the usual labs and activities that are done

year in and year out.

 

2.  ENC Math and Science Teacher Center

http://www.enc.org

 

This site I found through an online library search.  It has many different

areas and is not just limited to lesson plans.  Other areas of interest are

curriculum resources, web links, education topics (such as assessment and

problem solving) and even professional development.  An all-around

fundamental site.

 

3.  Discovery.com - Kathy Schrock - 2002

http://school.discovery.com/schrockguide/eval.html

 

This site is associated with The Discovery Channel and is a great website.

It is sectioned off into areas for teachers, students or parents.  The teacher

area offers evaluation surveys, lesson plans, clip art and even a puzzlemaker.

The main attraction is educational programs on TV. 

 

4.  BUBL Link:  570 Life sciences, biology

http://link.bubl.ac.uk/life/

 

This webpage offers 14 links for Life Science and Biology.  When you click

on any one of those links it brings you to another page with more suggestions

of categories/links to go to.  They include book chapters, tutorials, assignments

and tests.  It is basically a catalog of selected Internet resources and was created

in the United Kingdom.

 

5.  Science Magazine - 2003

http://www.sciencemag.org/

 

This  is an online version of the magazine.  It is good to check on this site

now and then to find the happenings in the world of science.  This site also

features a search to the site, browsing the archives or view the current issue.

 

6.  Kiddyhouse.com - Lesson Plans

http://www.kiddyhouse.com/Teachers/lplifescience.html

 

This site has endless amounts of lesson plans for Life Science. Some specific

lessons even include downloadable newsletters, experiments and teacher’s guides.

 

7.  The Teacher’s Corner – 1998-2002

http://www.theteacherscorner.net/science/index.htm

 

This site has a vast amount of resources for teachers, including lesson plans.

They categorize the areas of science for you to locate which is more aimed at

your area of study or the age range of your students.  What I like about this site

is it has an area for “Thematic Units” (such as things to do on Earth Day), a

“Seasonal” area, “Teacher Resources”, “The Teacher’s Lounge” (which has

factoids, educational news, newsletter and message board) and even a “Book Nook”

with recommendations for books for children, professionals, or young adults/teens.

This site has a wide variety of information and I will be making good use of this

site.

 

 

Corvettes

 

8.  Pro Team Corvette Sales 

http://www.proteam-corvette.com/

 

This site has everything for all years of corvettes, including parts, accessories

and even gifts. I am restoring an old corvette pace car and it has become a hobby

of mine.  You can even check out their inventory on this site.

 

9.  CorvetteMagazine.com 

http://corvettemagazine.com

 

This online magazine site includes features, news, new products, and events

on everything having to do with corvettes!  It even includes a searchable

archive database.  There are also many photographs of this outstanding vehicle.

 

10.  Corvette Action Center 

http://www.corvetteactioncenter.com/

 

This site is known as “The ultimate online hub of Corvette news and information”.

The site contains historical facts, polls and reviews.  What is also a nice feature

on this site is a bulletin board where you can post your question/suggestion on any

topic relating to the corvette.  There is also a “Tech Center”.

 

11.  Ken Polsson - Chronology of Chevrolet Corvettes – 1995-2002

http://www.islandnet.com/~kpolsson/vettehis/

 

This site is a timeline of events in the history of the corvette. The timeline begins

in 1951 until present.  The site also has a link of references for details on specific

events concerning corvettes.

 

12.  Chevrolet’s Official Site – 2003 Chevy Corvette

http://www.chevrolet.com/corvette/

 

What better place to see what the new corvette looks like (or will look like)

than on the official page by it’s maker.  You can find out information on any

model that Chevy makes, but I’m basically concerned with the corvette.  This site

is also good if you are looking for dealer information.  Hopefully soon I will

be heading there myself!!

 

 

2003 Monte Carlo SS Jeff Gordon Edition

 

13.  MotorTrend.com

http://media10.fastclick.net/w/safepop.cgi?mid=20427&sid=12342&id=103785&len=229&c=59&nfcp=1

 

This site is the online version of the magazine.  It brought me to the article

when this car was first being introduced to the public.  This site lists all the

“particulars” on the vehicle, such as how many made, the color scheme, etc.

It also goes into proceeds going to charity for each car bought.  Jeff Gordon is

a Nascar driver.  The reason I was so interested in this topic is because my wife

has this car.  I wanted to learn all about it.

 

14.  JeffGordon.com

http://www.jeffgordon.com/newsarchive/2002/1028.html

 

This site has more specific information on this new Jeff Gordon Limited Edition

2003 Monte Carlo SS.  It not only lists detailed information on the car itself, but

goes into the charities that Jeff Gordon and Hendrick motorsports contribute to.

 

15.  Chevrolet’s Official Site

http://www.chevrolet.com/monte_carlo/multimedia/gordon_pace_car/

 

On this official site for the car, not only do you get details on the interior

and exterior of the car, you can also download an official two-page color

print-out on the car.  This is the 2003 Monte Carlo SS Jeff Gordon Signature

edition, which is limited to 2,424 made.  Jeff Gordon is number 24, hence

the relationship to amounts produced.
