The Internet sites found listed below are the
result of work completed by teachers who attended
the Generation II: MASER project during the
1997, 1998, 1999, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004,
2005 and 2006 Summer Workshops. Workshop
participants researched science Internet sites
using a set of developed evaluation criteria.
A set of Internet learning activities were found
which correlated directly with the Michigan
Content Standards and Benchmarks . The result
is that teachers and students will be able to
use the provided Internet resources as a learning
tool to supplement currently available materials.

on the project.
Listed in the Elementary
, Middle School and High School
tables found below are links to Internet sites organized under the
Science Content Strands: Life Science, Physical Science and
Earth & Space Science. Each Internet site is listed under the
Science Benchmark that it meets. At the beginning of each listed
benchmark is a link to the online Science MICLiMB document. The
MICLiMB document will provide you with an overview of the benchmark; a
benchmark clarification; a classroom assessment example; a MEAP-like
item; links to additional web-based resources; standard references and
a listing of related benchmarks.
Internet sites "New" to the disk this year are
marked and sites found by participants to be "Outstanding"
are also identified.
The General Science Sites
found in the table below are Internet sites that do not meet specific
science benchmarks. Listed are numerous outstanding sites which contain
resources that might be useful to teachers. In addition to
the general categories listed below, each major category is further
sub-divided into three sub categories: (1) Interactive
Sites/Videos/Photographs; (2) Lessons/Activities/Information; and
(3) Searches/Periodicals/Projects. The "general sites" table also
contains links to science media resources, encyclopedias, multiple
subject indexes, women and minorities issues, careers in science,
information about using Internet media resources and other general
information.

The "Science Internet Sites" (Runs on both
IBM or Mac format) is available on CD-ROM at cost of materials and
shipping (currently $5.00/disk). For more information please call
or email the Center.
