  • AP Chemistry Interactive Practice
    A teacher in Atlanta suggested this one. She said "I found an amazing website today that I thought was worth sharing. The site says that it was be used by other teachers. My favorite part of this site is his interactive review quizzes. The chapters correspond with Zumdahl- click on “Review Questions”. I am going to definitely suggest my students use this for extra preparation before quizzes and exams."

  • EarthCaching — An Educator's Guide
    The Geological Society of America has taken one of the fastest growing outdoor activities of our day, Geocaching [pronounced “geo-cashing”], and developed an exciting educational activity that engages students in learning about Earth and its processes. It is called EarthCaching. By combining GPS technology with outdoor field experiences, students experience the wonders of Earth in an entirely new way.

  • Environmental Inquiry
    This site from Cornell University is a collection of ideas and resources to support student projects on a wide range of topics in the environmental sciences.

    Environmental Inquiry includes two levels of inquiry, modeled after professional scientific research. First, students learn specific research protocols. Using these protocols, they conduct interactive research projects. Downloadable forms help students design feasible experiments and then analyze, interpret, and present the results. Discussion boards and an online peer review forum provide opportunities for interaction with fellow students.
    http://ei.cornell.edu/

    The main page lists resource ideas for Assessing Toxic Risk, Invasion Ecology, Decay and Renewal & Watershed Dynamics.

    Otherwise, a good way to start is by browsing through this list of topics for student projects.
