Interactive Websites: How Do They Align with NCSCOS for Middle School Science? Angelia Reid-Griffin, Richard A. Huber, Christopher J. Moore Abstract: To make life a little easier for novice middle school science educators we decided to have our middle school methods students complete an assignment in which they were to locate some educationally valuable interactive web sites that aligned with North Carolina’s middle school science standards. Students enrolled in a middle school methods course located various science interactive websites and presented the sites to the class. The students demonstrated how the websites might be used in teaching the science competency objective or science strand. At the conclusion of the presentations, students were given a list of the websites presented and given a brief description of how the site could be used in a middle school setting. There was positive feedback from students after completing the assignment. Many of the in-service students enrolled in the class incorporated many of the web sites into their lessons. This activity is one of many techniques of teaching students how to use technology as a tool as well as providing novice educators with powerful sources of information to share with students and colleagues.
