Elementary Science Resources - Grades PreK-5



Science Resources for the Elementary Classroom Animals - features activities from the internet, interactives, and lesson plans. Earth - This one site in particular from the American Museum of Natural History has quite a few robust activities and experiments for students and teachers. Another one that caught my eye was The Water Cycle from the EPA. A friendly, flash based interactive. Electricity - One that I liked was the Flash Based - Tech Topics Sound - There are many sound resources here, one nifty one is the virtual percussion machine. Click your way though various rhythms and sounds. this sound wave animation is also really useful. Space - Kids are always fascinated by the study of space. These links provide some really awesome interactive material for you. This site, from NASA, loads and lets your students experience the ride of a space satellite. Weather - This page has some really robust resources for teaching weather. One cool one is the Cloud Talk from NASA.



BBC Bitesize Science - great interactive science resources including games, quizzes, and readings that you can use on a computer or on a SMART board. Geared for 2nd grade and up.

BBC can be broken down into age groups. This is SCIENCE for __//**AGES**//__ 4-11

PBS Teachers - There are actually all content areas represented, but I like this site because it is broken down by grade AND content. There are quite a few science and technology resources available.



Science Zone - this is another BBC web site that is full of interactive simulations that you can use on your SMART board and also has plenty of games to keep your students engaged.

Windows to the Universe is for older elementary, middle, and high school. It offers a variety of information on Earth and space sciences. It even has professional development for teachers. There are a multitude of interactives available for your SMART board as well.

Wonderville - fun science activities for grades 3-7. Topics include: Things in Our World and Beyond, Things You Just Can't See, Things Created Using Science and Things and How they Work Kids will be fascinated by the videos, games, tutorials, and tidbits of information they can gain.

Want to create a science game? Why not try Bingo Baker or Jeopardy Labs to create a game that can be played on the SMARTboard.
