REVIEW:
Although this database was created to provide Canadian teachers with lessons and activities directly tied to Canadian curricula, science teachers everywhere will appreciate this resource. Users can easily adapt lessons, activities, assessment tools, and background information to fit the objectives of most K-12 science curricula. Be sure to check out Real-Time Science, which features "curriculum-specific activities, expeditions, and current events for your classroom." An archive of these special online expeditions includes all classroom resources and activities for use as a class project.
