Science Buddies

I know at our school the seniors have to undertake a major personal area of research in Science. Like any big project some students have difficulties deciding what to do. Science Buddies is the answer. Your students can literally fill out a questionnaire - about 85 questions and the application will make recommendations based on the interests and strengthens of the student. The process takes about 10 to 15 minutes but at the end the student is presented with a series of options for a major study area.

The websites has thousands of projects with detailed assistance on processes. It is also a place for teachers and parents to locate resources. It has a section on careers in science and is currently recruiting volunteers as Online Student Experts. This is a great website for science education.

Van Gogh Digital Textbook

This was a case study for a Yr 10 Visual Arts class studying Postmodernism. We reviewed the accepted position of Vincent van Gogh in history and then evaluated the accepted history from a fresh perspective. These activities where designed in co-operation with the students. It was the second of these collaborative case studies that this class had designed.
