Featured Classroom Resource
Don't have the time or materials to do experiments for every scientific concept you are trying to cover? Check out Robert Krampf's site where there are many high quality experiment videos that find interesting ways to explain some difficult science! Your students will love him! If you do have time for experiments, new ideas pop up weekly on his website, or you can peruse the archives.

 

Featured Teacher Resource

Stuck on fusion and energy science? Lack of resources and ideas about how to approach this topic? General Atomics created a fusion education program to help you teach (and help students learn) gaseous plasma science and fusion science.

This is a FREE program, courtesy of a grant from the US Fusion Energy Sciences Office of the Department of Energy (US DOE/OFES) and support from General Atomics.

You can arrange a tour of a fusion facility, get experiment kits and teaching materials and media sent to you, attend workshops, or just ask a scientist a question!
