Interactive
Sites/Videos/Photographs
- Asteroid
Virtual Reality Movies
An asteroid
wipes out New York City. OK, it's unlikely. But you're
going to look at these video clips anyway for the
thrill. Next: NYPD Deep Blue
- Chaos
Gallery
Can the
chaotic dynamics of math, physics, and other sciences
yield stunning works of modern art? Apparently so.
Grade level is high school.
- Virtual
Science Comes Alive
- This site has a number of interactive science
animations available. This site is part of "The
Why Files" site. This is an outstanding interactive
site.
Lessons/Activities/Information
- About
Rainbows
Describes
what scientific and math principles allow us to see
the rainbow and the history of how scientists proved
their theories concerning the rainbow. Useful site
for student research.
Searches/Periodicals/Projects
- The
Why Files
Promising
to deliver the science behind the news, The Why Files
does just that in remarkably clear fashion for timely
topics as diverse as cloning and school violence.
- U.S.
Patent and Trademark Office
Serious
about laying your claim to a great invention? This
site, or the office of a good patent attorney, should
be your first stop. The U.S. Patent Office posts a
wealth of information about issued patents and patent
applications, and you can search its vast patent
database to see if your idea's already been taken.
