Shanda's 1st Science Page

Hi, my name is Shanda Annette Hill. I am a secondary science educator at NC State University located in Raleigh, NC. This web site has been designed as a resource for both science educators and their students.

Some of my favorite topics are:

genetics
botany
ecology

My favorite search engines, for students, are Yahooligans , and Magellan

I think that these are good sites for students to visit because they are easy to navigate and are written in a language that easy for students to understand. Magellan has a feature which exhibits green lights by material that has been deemed appropiate for children. This is a tool that can be used by teachers as well as parents/guardians. Some good science links to look at are :

Natural History of Genes
IMSE Net
Science Junction

Keeping abreast with current trends in the science education field is important. The following is a list of links to organizations that involve science educators: NC Science Teacher's Association ,National Science Teacher's Association, and National Association of Biology Teachers

I had the opportunity to attend the North Carolina Science Teacher's conference in Greensboro,NC. While there, I was able to collect information from various sources that will prove helpful in my career as an educator. As I receive more responses from these sources, I plan to add their websites to my web page.

I have received one such response thus far. This site is from a company that makes a product that can be used in an Anatomy and Physiology class. This product provides hands-on practice to students.

This site is composed of links that are helpful to science students and instructors. Here is a link just for fun. Contained at this site are various "cool" images.
