REVIEW:
Educators, students, science professionals and the general public will all find something of interest at ActionBioScience.
The site provides a wealth of articles by scientists, science educators and students about issues that are related
to the seven bioscience challenges: environment, biodiversity, genomics, biotechnology, evolution, new frontiers
in science, and bioscience education. All articles are peer reviewed before publication and cover such topics
as Teaching Geologic Time, Plant Misconceptions, Intelligent Design, The State of Ecosystems and more. The lesson
directory includes original lessons written and reviewed by science educators for middle, high school and undergraduate
students that accompany articles on the site. Lessons include questions relating to the article and a variety
of activities for the classroom. Additionally, lessons are grouped according to the seven bioscience challenges
and teachers can access the National Science Education Standards chart to find lessons that address particular
curricular needs. |
