Develop your Science teaching practice using ICT
http://www.teachernet.gov.uk/supportpack/
Develop your Science teaching practice using ICT using the "ICT Support Pack" (UK 2006) Key Stage 3 (ages 11-14)
Here are all the materials you will need to teach Science using ICT, from planning and preparation to evaluation.
Primary and Secondary (k-12)
The Practical Support Pack is an online collection of high quality lesson content, lesson plans, multimedia resources and ICT support materials designed to help teachers develop their teaching practice using ICT.
Step-by-step it gives teaching professionals the opportunity to try out new ideas and new ways of teaching familiar topics in their subject. It also shows the role that ICT can play in achieving learning and teaching objectives.
Also includes video case studies
These extensive science modules are linked to the Secondary National Strategy framework for teaching Science, the National Curriculum and QCA schemes of work.
They focus on key areas including: finding and using information; using models in science; visualising science; presenting an understanding of science; handling and interpreting data and reinforcing knowledge of science.

Case Study : ICT in Science Y7
http://www.curriculumonline.gov.uk/CaseStudies/sciencecasestudy.htm
Case Study : ICT in Science Y7
A year 7 top tier class using data loggers to measure cooling curves.
Using a wide range of ICT, including data projectors, data loggers, presentation software, word processors, DVDs, CDs and videos, the teacher is able to stimulate, motivate and enhance the students' learning and develop their skills in science.
The class is split into two halves, with one half using data loggers and the other using datasheets. The benefits of data logging are highlighted in this way.
Within the class the teacher uses a software programme, presentation software and a data projector to show a simulation of an electric motor. The software being used allows the animation to be slowed down to show how each part works.

Using ICT to support science
http://tinyurl.com/5xrgd
Using ICT to support science
There are a number of useful sources of materials on the internet which cover the use of ICT in science for individual teachers or for departmental training. One example is the Key Stage 3 National Strategy science lesson materials, developed in conjunction with the Association for Science Education (ASE), and these are freely available on the Key Stage 3 Strategy website.
One example relates to electricity in the home, with the spreadsheet and accompanying worksheet enabling students to model the use of electrical appliances and lighting in the rooms of their home on an average day. In terms of science, this allows the investigation of which appliances, rooms and types of use convert the most electricity, and gives pupils a feel for the costs.
Another source of free materials for training and teacher development is the delegate pack from the Becta online Inset for science that took place in 2004. Although the event itself has finished, the resources are still online and easily accessible.

Developing Virtual Field Trips for Science
http://www.tramline.com/develop.htm
Developing Virtual Field Trips for Science
As teachers, we know that field trips motivate and educate our kids. We also know they are time-consuming, difficult to organize, and often affected by the weather. In many cases, the places we would most like to visit aren't nearby or aren't open at the time we are covering them in the curriculum. In these cases, the next best thing to a real field trip is a virtual field trip. In fact, virtual field trips are often better because they take you places you couldn't otherwise go, for example, inside a volcano, under the ocean, or straddling a fault line.
Virtual field trips are the best way to assemble, or thread together, the most important sites that tell a story or follow a theme. In addition to an easy-to-follow thread, the narration window contains text explaining the site, putting it in context for the grade level and theme you are studying, and providing additional links to take students to key pages on the site.
