Here are a couple of outstanding science teacher resources …
My Science Box: “The My Science Box website is a closte full of lessons, hands-on activities, assessments and field trip ideas for science teachers. Each box contains a complete set of scaffolded lesson plans to teach a four to six week middle school science unit.
“The guiding mission behind My Science Box is that teachers should have free access to the best hands-on, classroom-tested science lessons. Every time science teachers introduce new content into their repertoire, they should not be required to pay thousands of dollars for a new teacher’s guide, nor should they recreate activities and assessments that other teachers have already designed and used.”
BioLogica: “This site offers interactive features that foster independent inquiry and scientific reasoning. By solving a sequence of activities, students build a body of scientific knowledge as BioLogica monitors their progress, offers helpful hints, and builds a portfolio of their work.”
One of the cool-looking activities is breeding dragons to learn about genetics.

Another fine resource is BIODIDAC, “A bank of digital resources for teaching biology.” It is a website full of clear, clean line drawings of dissections and organism, both macro and micro. Very useful. Generous terms of use too for educators. In both French and English.
