Welcome to the Science Education Resource Page! This is a web site dedicated to helping science teachers by providing some science teaching resources. Science Concepts in the form of concept development, demonstrations, labs and activities and teaching tips. A list of annotated Science Links that are categorized by subject or organization. In addition, we are constructing a site that also attends to our Professional Development as teachers. The design, maintenance, and contents of this web site have primarily been the work of teacher candidates enrolled in the secondary-school science panel of the Bachelor of Education program at Queen's University in Kingston, Ontario, Canada.

Science Concepts

    This page contains the complete list of the major concepts involved in teaching Science in the Secondary Classroom.  The concepts are divided into Biology, Chemistry, Physics and General Science.  Each major concept is listed and linked to its list of Concept Development, Demos, Tips and Labs/Activites.

    Most web sites for science teachers focus exclusively on lesson plans, demonstrations, and ideas to assist them in improving the presentation of science subject matter. The following is a page of links to examples of how a science teacher can enhance the quality of the teaching and learning experiences of his/her students. By problematizing our own teaching and learning, we can begin to conduct "research" on our own practice in order to enhance the experiences of all learners, including our own.

    The following pages contain a number of different links to Biology, Chemistry, Physics, General Science, Science Organizations, Current Issues in Science and Science Teaching, Science Centres, News and Media, Safety, Humor. Many of these sites are directed to teaching Science in the classroom and have excellent lessons, demos and activities.

Attention Ontario elementary school teachers - there are some excellent leads to resources available in the "Elementary Science and Technology" science links.

    We are always looking for quality science education links. If you know of a good web-site, please e-mail the URL with a short description of why you found it to be a helpful site to: chinp@educ.queensu.ca
