- What is an Educational Object Economy?. This EOE is a community of Educators, Developers and Businesses working together to use, create, and collaborate upon Educational Java objects on the web. Currently, there are over 1350 educational Java objects in the library, covering virtually every subject area. These interactive simulations, illustrations, and exercises are available at no cost for anyone with web access to use.
- Science Museum Network. A museum-based education project where you find, among others, a link to the Science Museum of Minnesota. This Museum presents "Maya Adventure", a World-Wide Web site that highlights science activities and information related to ancient and modern Maya culture. Also the other links are worth exploring!
- Fermilab Education Office. Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory is a high-energy physics laboratory, home of the world's most powerful particle accelerator, the Tevatron. Scientists from across the U.S. and around the world use Fermilab's resources in experiments to explore the most basic particles and forces of nature. On this site you find all sorts of resources that help you understand the world of science and physics...
- The Exploratorium. This site is the virtual version of the museum in San Fransisco. The Exploratorium's mission is to "create a culture of learning through innovative environments, programs and tools that help people nurture their curiosity about the world around them.
- Science Bookmarks. 94481 bytes of science bookmarks! Quite some list, but plenty of resources worthwhile looking at...
- Physics Learning Resources on the Web. The software presented on this site are reasonably good examples of what can be done interactively on the Web to support learning. (Well, if they are not good, they are worth looking at to get ideas of what can be done!).
- NASA Educational Products. The page for the science teacher who wishes to know how microgravity can be a subject for 5 graders.
- NASA Langley's HPCC/IITA K-12 Program. They have some interesting course materials about teaching the use of the Internet in education.
