Like most other teachers, you may need to brush up on your knowledge of some areas of science content. The more you explore, the more you will find yourself wondering! Begin to collect good science textbooks and trade books for your reference shelf. Watch for science articles in newspapers and magazines.
The Internet, of course, is an excellent resource, but where to start? Here are some useful sites to get you going. Some of these are appropriate to share with your students.
