**Dr. Alice Christie's Technology Integration Workshop: Science**
Children are naturally curious and interested in the world around them. They want to know the "how" and "why" of everything they encounter. Science is a natural conduit for capturing this inquisitiveness and enthusiasm in our students. Teachers can make the most of science by allowing students time to investigate and build their own experiences. Whereas science is the study of the natural world, technology is the study of the man-made world. When we combine these two disciplines, we have a powerful new set of tools for investigating science with the emergence of new technologies. From an interactive Periodic Table to designing and testing your own engineering structures, this site has it all!

** The Science Spot **
The Science Spot was developed by Mrs. Tracy Trimpe. This site includes lessons and activities to be used in the classroom. Examples range from project ideas, daily trivia questions, wordsearches, and crossword puzzles. There is also a technology link on the website that provides handouts and resources for workshops that discuss ways to enrich classrooms with technology. This site offers a multitude of resources that revolve around the many disciplines of science. It is user friendly and focuses on the middle school level, although many ideas can be utilized at the high school level as well. [] media type="custom" key="8124240" width="50" height="50"

The Molecular & Cell Biology Department of North Dakota State University supplies a collection of virtual cell animations led by Dr. Philip McClean and Christina Johnson. This collection introduces students to seventeen molecular and cellular processes. For each process there is a series of annotated images, a text explanation, and a video explaining the process. The animations are embedded Flash movies. They may take time to finish buffering and might pause while playing. There is an option to download presentations, if the user registers an account. A text version of narratives is also available.=====
