Sigma Xi: The Scientific Research Society: Undergraduate Science Education Links

The following listings are grouped first by fields within science and then into several general categories. Some of the sites fall into more than one category and may therefore appear multiple times. The sites offer strategies for educational reform at the undergraduate and K-12 levels, lists of links and many resources of educational information. Program Statistics - Supplemental Workshops in Science - Cal Poly. Educational Science Software. Center for Astronomy Education - Teaching Strategies. Messenger Express. Grid Paper PDFs. Downloadable and very printable, I find these PDFs extremely useful.

Earth and Moon Viewer

Viewing the Earth You can view either a map of the Earth showing the day and night regions at this moment, or view the Earth from the Sun, the Moon, the night side of the Earth, above any location on the planet specified by latitude, longitude and altitude, from a satellite in Earth orbit, or above various cities around the globe. Images can be generated based on a full-colour image of the Earth by day and night, a topographical map of the Earth, up-to-date weather satellite imagery, or a composite image of cloud cover superimposed on a map of the Earth, a colour composite which shows clouds, land and sea temperatures, and ice, or the global distribution of water vapour.

Expert mode allows you additional control over the generation of the image.
