This week, I’m looking across the curriculum for great resources for teachers and/or students, starting with science.

Beyond Penguins and Polar Bears (K-5) – Expand your background and resources on the polar regions. This online magazine has tons of amazing images, lesson plans, and even podcasts with scientists.

Habitat Adventure: The Panda Challenge (K-5) – Invite your students to try their hand at designing a new giant panda habitat for Mei Xiang and Tian Tian. The challenge is to balance the needs of the pandas, visitors, and staff.

We Choose the Moon (4-8) – Celebrate the 40-year anniversary of the Apollo 11 voyage.   Pretty impressive  graphics  combined with archival footage, audio and photos to recreate each of the eleven stages of the mission.

NASA’s Find Teaching Materials Search Engine (K-12) – You can easily search the database by selecting grade level, type of resource (lesson, poster, etc.), and subject.

PBS Quest (7-12) – Wish you had more video clips at your fingertips to jazz up your science lessons?  Checkout their great selection of lessons and videos, such as their introduction to sea slugs:
