During this semester I joined pinterest and it is an awesome sight to find ideas for everything. I especially find ideas for my future classroom. I have listed a few science websites or blogs I find as valuable resources. Not all of the websites or blogs focus on science completely, but they provide awesome ideas.
1. Zunal WebQuest Maker {http://www.zunal.com/} This site I was introduced to through my science professor this semester. The site provides great science lessons for anything and provides insight for new ways to teach science to children. Also the site has hand on activities for children to complete, not just worksheets.
2. Mom to 2 Posh Lil Divas {http://www.momto2poshlildivas.com/2012/01/blow-it-up-exploring-gas-with-balloons.html} On this blog I found a great activity called Blow It Up! Exploring Gas with Balloon, Baking Soda and Vinegar. The creator of the blog provides detail pictures and explanations of how to conduct science activities. All the activities provide are kid friendly. This blog is valuable because it shows creative ways to explore things, for example balloons.
3. Science Bob {http://www.sciencebob.com/experiments/toothpaste.php}This is a great website to help assist teaching science. On the website is a list of resources for any area of science. There are also amazing and fun activities for children to complete. For example, the Fantastic Foamy Toothpaste Experiment. I will be using this website in my future classroom to provide my students with new and exciting ways to view science.
4. In Lieu of Preschool { http://inlieuofpreschool.blogspot.com/2012/03/tornado-in-bottle-easiest-science.html} This a blog a mother has created since becoming a stay at home mom. She share activities she does at home with her children. For example, the Tornado in a Bottle activity. She has listed step by step how to complete the activity. This blog is a great way to share science activities and others as well. Also the activities listed are for all children not just for a specific age group.
5. OMSI {http://www.omsi.edu/for-kids}This site is great for kids and educators. It provides fun science activities to do at home, such as making flubber. There is also a section just for educators. The site focuses on all areas of science and I consider this a valuable resource.
6. Teach Preschool {http://www.teachpreschool.org/2011/08/bright-and-colorful-sensory-bags-for-preschool/} This is a great website to find science activities for young children. Weather it be sensory bags made of hair gel or disappearing clouds. It provides many science activities and is a resource I will continue to use in my future classroom.
7. Candy Experiments { http://www.candyexperiments.com/} If you want to do experiments with candy this is the site to find them. This site provides all different kinds of experiments with candy, which kids will love. As a future teacher, this provides me with opportunities to think outside the box. Kids love candy, why wouldn't they love an experiment with candy. I find this to be an interesting resource and beneficial for the future.
8. Play At Home Mom LLC { http://playathomemom3.blogspot.com/search/label/Science} Wow! The moms who created this blog have some cool science activities. The science activities focus on making things glow, which kids love. I find it is a nice resource and will use it in the future. I hope until I am teaching there will be more science activities available to access.
9. Science for Kids {http://www.sciencekids.co.nz/} This site is great for all ages, adults and kids. There are games and so many experiments. The site also focuses on all areas of science, which I love. This site I would most definitely use in my future classroom. I find it very beneficial to help students learn about science.
10. National Geographic Kids {http://kids.nationalgeographic.com/kids/activities/funscience/} This website is a great way for kids to learn about science. It provides experiments, videos, game, and pictures for kids to learn about science. This will always be a great resource.
