Exploratorium

A cool site for science teachers, Exploratorium.com has lots of online activities to play around with and if you're close enough (San Fransisco), it is also a museum that looks to be a great field trip option.

Learner.org... Professional Development

Lots of professional development opportunities can be found here. Have I personally used anything from this site? No. Do I plan to? Not in the foreseeable future. But there are plenty of folks out there who spend what precious little time they have after workshops, after school duties, and grading papers to go to even more workshops and watch more videos in order to improve as a teacher. This link is for those overachievers.
