Inside Science TV


The Inside Science TV program produces news segments that depict "the impact of recent advances in science" and is part of a nice partnership between the American Institute of Physics and the American Mathematical Society. On this site, visitors can watch these short and eminently watchable programs which include "How to Design a 51-Star Flag" and "The Science Behind Movie Magic." Currently, there are two dozen short films here and visitors are encouraged to submit their own suggestions for future programs. Additionally, users can follow Inside Science TV on Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube.

National Association of Biology Teachers


The staff members at the National Association of Biology Teachers (NABT) have put together a stellar array of websites that deal with ten different areas of biology, including animals, bioethics, evolution, and stem cell research. The items here are arranged alphabetically and visitors can review the brief descriptions to learn more about the content covered within each site. There is quite a variety of useful sites, with each area consisting of about two dozen suggested resources. Additionally, the site has a place where visitors can also suggest resources for inclusion.
