• What is Composting | Composting nature's process recycling decomposed organic materials | San Mateo County RecycleWorks | Reuse
  Composting is nature's process of recycling decomposed organic materials into a rich soil known as compost. Anything that was once living will decompose. Basically, backyard composting is an acceleration of the same process nature uses. By composting your organic waste you are returning nutrients back into the soil in order for the cycle of life to continue. Finished compost looks like soil–dark brown, crumbly and smells like a forest floor.

• Mark Trodden Video about Expanding Galaxies and Types of Matter/Energy
  Research summary of old notions of the expanding universe and newer approach to explain how galaxies can to continue moving away from each other at ever-increasing velocities. Talks about Einstein's general theory of relativity -- movement being a curvature of space/time continuum (or something like this)

  Note: Video spends too much time focused on Trodden and not enough on his slides, so you lose focus (and interest) while staring at him talking.

• Teaching Science Blog for Preservice Teachers in UK
  This is a blog I set up to share information with my PGCE science students at Billericay SCITT in Essex, UK. I hope to be able to answer some of the questions they have about science, and link to useful websites that they might find useful. Hopefully even get some of them to post here too!

• 7 Online Science Projects for All Grade Levels - Project Based Learning Science Activities that Connect the World
  Online science projects provide active and engaged learning, along with encouraging students to develop a better understanding of science. Students are also more likely to retain the knowledge gained through these online activities, because they are more connected with the learning process. The collaborative nature of the science projects listed below help students develop the ability to work in both team-based and independent work.

• 7 Real Time Data Online Science Investigations: Project-Based Learning Designed to Develop Quantitative Skills
  Students learn how to conduct science investigations in the same manner as scientists, as they learn to analyze sets of online real time data to solve problems. Using real time data for developing quantitative literacy in project-based learning science activities focuses on students’ ability to use critical thinking and mathematical reasoning skills to draw sound conclusions during science investigations. While quantitative skills are used heavily in math and science, it is not exclusive to either content area. It is a necessary skill used for decision-making and an ability to understand data by applying numerical insight into experimental findings.
