K8 Science
The K8 Science website is designed at the Baylor College of Medicine, with the support of a wide range of school district, foundation, and national grants, as an "online educational resource for educators, students, and parents," utilizing "state-of-the-art technology to provide instant access to reliable, up-to-date information and educational tools in life, physical, and earth/space sciences appropriate for grades K-8." The website makes use of streaming video presentations by "national thought leaders in elementary and middle school science, classroom management, science standards, and other key issues in education," a slide library of "exciting and relevant lesson plans and activities from hundreds of searchable slides ... editors' news picks on current science news, and teacher resources with downloadable inquiry science lessons" designed to meet national and state education standards.
