It's not fancy, but it's very useful! The Science Spot provides a wealth of resources for middle school science teachers and their students. A variety of science topics (including physics!) with ready-to-use worksheets and hands-on lab activities. Teachers will find the resources and websites they need to enrich the learning process.

Attend a seminar from the comfort of your own home! The National Science Teachers Assocation (NSTA) Learning Center offers upcoming web based seminars that you can participate in live, or scroll back through the archives to enjoy some past seminars. These seminars were developed in collaboration with the National Science Digital Library (NSDL) focusing on a variety of science topics and targeting K-12 grade level educators.

Be sure to check out the NSTA website for loads of other helpful materials!
