21st Century Topics and Skills

Science Journal Blog: 21^st Century Topics and Skills

The specific area of physical science that I selected was simple machines.

The “most powerful” web address that I found is listed below:

http://www.fossweb.com/modules3-6/ModelsandDesigns/index.html

This website has many different opportunities for students to become 21^st century scientifically literate citizens. There are many different engaging experiences that require students to ask, find, predict, and explain in this website example. There are many other opportunities that allow the students to evaluate and pose arguments based on information provided in the learning throughout the website. One of the videos provided on the website is connected to roller coasters, and you could use that as introduction to the beginning of a lesson on simple machines, and what simple machines are used on a roller coaster.
