January 16, 1998 - IMSEnet
- This is a netsite for and about successful
use of the internet for science education. There's an active Sci-Teach Forum "to
promote the exchange of ideas and methods for the improvement in teaching and learning
science," an annotated list of educational science sites, and many resources to aid
teachers or students in the development of their own educational web pages. A section on
evaluating educational websites describes the requisites of good content and construction,
while IMSEnet in general provides many pointers to creating a quality internet
presentation of science topics. Site by Alec M. Bodzin, Lisa L. Grable, Susan Curtis and
the SERVIT Group, Department of Mathematics, Science, and Technology Education, North
Carolina State University, Raleigh, North Carolina. (****) -LF
- January 16, 2002 - Plant Fact Sheets
- Plant Fact Sheets from North Carolina State University cover more than 700 plants used horticulturally in the region. Species are listed by scientific name, common name, and growth habit. Individual data sheets include attractive images, and information on appropriate hardiness zone, habit, growth rate, light conditions, soil drainage, special microclimate needs, texture, form, height, width, flower/fruit or fructification, special comments and cultivars available, if any. This is a useful gardening source and worth a bookmark. (****) -S
