[UniServe Science]

Dear Junior Science teachers

Welcome back to Term 4

Looking for something different for you Science Teaching

The Additional Resources section of the UniServe 
Science Schools web site contains web pages that 
cross the content boundaries of the curriculum 
and provide resources to help teachers implement 
new dimensions in their teaching programs.  It 
can be found at http://science.uniserve.edu.au/school/addres/index.html.

You will find pages on:

Classroom Technologies such as Interactive Whiteboards & Data Loggers
Web-based activities such as WebQuests, Web Sheets & EarthQuests
Enrichment materials such as Movies in the 
Science Classroom and Multimedia rich sites

The latest additional to the Additional Resources 
is a page on Working with Real 
Data.  http://science.uniserve.edu.au/school/realdata/index.html

This page has links to online projects that use 
real data.  There are also links to NSW 
Australian and world wide data on science topics 
such as the environment, health, climate, disasters and energy usage.

This is definitely a page under construction and 
more data will be added as it becomes available.
