Websites that teach science:
TEACH YOUR STUDENTS ABOUT THE SCIENCE OF LIVING IN SPACE
NASA has a wonderful educational website called Space Life Sciences centered on living organisms in the space environment. The website focuses on the human body in space, plants in space, space food and nutrition, space habitats, research with animals in space, and the potential for life beyond Earth. Teachers can find classroom materials, links to other NASA websites, announcements about life science research conducted in space, and information on opportunities for educators and students.
Khan Academy Science units:
The Khan Academy is an organization on a mission. We're a not-for-profit with the goal of changing education for the better by providing a free world-class education for anyone anywhere.
All of the site's resources are available to anyone. It doesn't matter if you are a student, teacher, home-schooler, principal, adult returning to the classroom after 20 years, or a friendly alien just trying to get a leg up in earthly biology. The Khan Academy's materials and resources are available to you completely free of charge.
Example: Birth of Stars https://www.khanacademy.org/science/cosmology-and-astronomy/stellar-life-topic
TED Talks
TED is a nonprofit devoted to Ideas Worth Spreading. It started out (in 1984) as a conference bringing together people from three worlds: Technology, Entertainment, Design. Since then its scope has become ever broader. Along with two annual conferences -- the TED Conference in Long Beach and Palm Springs each spring, and the TEDGlobal conference in Edinburgh UK each summer -- TED includes the award-winning TED Talks video site, the Open Translation Project and TED Conversations, the inspiring TED Fellows and TEDx programs, and the annual TED Prize.
Free Rice
About Freerice.com
Freerice is a non-profit website that is owned by and supports the United Nations World Food Programme.
Freerice has two goals:
- Provide education to everyone for free.
- Help end world hunger by providing rice to hungry people for free.
This is made possible by the generosity of the sponsors who advertise on this site.
Whether you are CEO of a large corporation or a street child in a poor country, improving your education can improve your life. It is a great investment in yourself.
Perhaps even greater is the investment your donated rice makes in hungry human beings, enabling them to function and be productive. Somewhere in the world, a person is eating rice that you helped provide.
