Science Net Links is a resource used for K-12 Science related topics. It provides teaching tools, in class activities and resources for teachers specifically in the science area. The website opens up immediately to a search bar that allows you to navigate through the website in a sense where you can discover the grade levels and the different website activities along with in class room activities. In the upper right hand corner there is also a tool bar that provides more information.
The lessons tool bar breaks down the search engine again into different science topics such as earth science, physics, astronomy, biology and more. I observed Kindergarten and was able to discover links raising awareness, lesson ideas and printed off sheets of all science topics within kindergarten science. I really like that it dissects the pages so much for you so you can observe what grade, what region of science and gives you many different options of links to choose from. The other links on the upper right hand corner will go over group activities and lab activities, after school program options and other extra curricular science activities to choose from.
The last link shows a lot of information on Science News. This is really helpful because it keeps you updated with what is currently going on in the world with science, this can be really helpful if you are a science teacher because than you can show your students how what they are learning can be compared to the real world and what is currently going on in the world. I think this tool is one of the strongest student resources I have seen, not only because it really concentrates on a specific topic but also because it really dissects that topic for you by giving the proper grade and specific science topic.
This seems like it would be really useful for anyone teaching science. Remember you should make a link to the actual tool, not the blog where you learned about it.
