World Library of Science. الرياضة النفسية. Vsauce. ARKive - Discover the world's most endangered species. Wildscreen's Arkive project was launched in 2003 and grew to become the world's biggest encyclopaedia of life on Earth. With the help of over 7,000 of the world’s best wildlife filmmakers and photographers, conservationists and scientists, Arkive.org featured multi-media fact-files for more than 16,000 endangered species. Freely accessible to everyone, over half a million people every month, from over 200 countries, used Arkive to learn and discover the wonders of the natural world.

Since 2013 Wildscreen was unable to raise sufficient funds from trusts, foundations, corporates and individual donors to support the year-round costs of keeping Arkive online. Therefore, the charity had been using its reserves to keep the project online and was unable to fund any dedicated staff to maintain Arkive, let alone future-proof it, for over half a decade. Despite appeals for support, just 85 of our 5.6 million users in 2018 made a donation. Web 2.0 Science Tools. By Laura Turner The following web2.0 sites would be useful for science educators at the high school and middle school level. Some would also be appropriate for higher elementary grade levels. There are many new ‘tools’ or websites that take advantage of the higher speed and bandwidth of today’s Internet.

Web 1.0 tools/websites were text based and web2.0 tools/websites are designed for full-motion video, 3D animations and are generally interactive in some manner. Web 2.0 can also be described as the second round of new technology development and adoption. EcoKids This award-winning EcoKids web site is an interactive environmental web site for children, their families, and educators in Canada and around the world. Experience Math and Science with Gizmos (3-12) www.explorelearning.com This site features 450 interactive simulations for math and science.

Site Review: Steve Spangler Science. Site URL: SteveSpanglerScience.com Content: Steve Spangler is one of the more famous names in elementary and middle-school science, and his site is home to experiment ideas, teacher training tips and tons of other science-based fun. Design: Despite his prominence and relative fame (he’s Ellen DeGeneres’ go-to science guy), his site does little to inspire exploration. A flat white background filled with little image blocks is effective, but a bit boring. If he didn’t offer tremendous content, visitors might be quick to leave. Review: Steve Spangler Science is really two sites in one. There is the online store, where teachers can purchase anything from materials required for experiments to classroom decorations like a plush Beaker doll. There is also an idea hub of experiments, science fair projects and lessons. The site’s two-pronged approach provides teachers with a one-stop shop for all their experiment needs.
