TEACTHER ACTIVITIES AND RESOURCES

 

Web Links Bibliography

I have searched the web for many sites that I can use both for professional growth and for information that I can use in the classroom.  Here is bibliography of some of the ones that ended up on my favorites list.  You will find that I have used several of them in the links and web pages below.

 

Course Module

This course module is an activity designed to teach teachers about the use of IM in for educational purposes.  This is a lesson organized for teachers to learn about IM and how it can be used in classrooms.

 

Search Engine favorites

The search engine page is designed to show the benefits of different search engines depending on the purpose of the search.  There are too many sites for one to go through individually to find information and search engines are used daily.  Here is a composite of different search engine sites that help serve different search functions.

 

CLASSROOM RESOURCES

 

email.  The link here provides hints that students can follow to use email effectively when communicating with teachers.

plagiarism.  Here I provide information on plagiarism and how to prevent it using the Internet as a tool.

collaboration.  This link provides information on collaboration activities that students can use in the science classes to work with students around the world.

website evaluation.  I have created a checklist to evaluate websites and have linked it here.  With the site you will find a link to a second page I have created that uses the checklist to evaluate a couple of websites.

lesson plans.  Here I have compiled some useful sites for finding lesson plans online for teachers to use.  I teach chemistry and so my focus here is chemistry lesson plans, but the many of the sites I have chosen have home pages that can be used for finding lessons for other subjects.

teacher sites. Here I have organized two sites that I have found on the Net that were created by teachers.  The sites are chosen to benefit me as I teach chemistry but they might be of interest even if you do not teach chemistry.

STUDENT ACTIVITIES

 

Web drop activities

 

Density.  This drop in is a link to an interactive density site that will engage and involve students in the learning process. http://www2.mcdaniel.edu/slm/student/heinemanne/drop-in1.htm

 

Atomic Spectra.  This drop in is a link to a site that displays and compares several atomic spectra.  It provides an activity that I have designed for students to use the site and compare the spectra.

pH.  Here I have created an activity using an interactive website in which students can work with and explore the concept of pH by comparing that of household chemicals.

acid rain.  This activity is designed for students to compare several sites and use the information found to complete an activity dealing with the subject of acid rain.

chemical reactions.  In this activity students learn about writing balanced chemical reactions by exploring 2 websites.  They relate the concepts to information in class and extend on knowledge by looking ahead.

Atomic Structure.  This activity is designed for students to construct atoms from their basic particles and to eventually identify what an isotope is and how to calculate the average atomic mass.

Electron Configurations.  This site works through tutorials and notes using applets and web resources to write electron configurations.

STUDENT RESOURCES

 

Lab reports – here I have left instructions for writing a formal lab report.  The instructions were written for my honors chemistry classes who were required to participate in a school science fair by performing an independent project.
