[] This is a link to a virtual manipulative all about the physiological effects of alcohol on the human body. I thought it was kind of funny that it's from a High School class. They shouldn't be thinking about getting drunk! - Patrick Cole

http://www.nlm.nih.gov/research/visible/visible_human.html This is a link to an interesting site about the visible human project. Basically, people who left their bodies to science were frozen and sliced in super thin sections, kind of like at the deli counter. Then these slices were photographed and sequenced so you can take tour through the body. - Patrick Cole

__http://www.explorelearning.com/index.cfm?method=cResource.dspView&ResourceID=655&ClassID=0__ This is a gizmo to explore heat transfer to various types of materials. It uses a light source which can hit the object at different angles. Although the gizmo can be used to explore many things, it does all of the work. - David Darr

http://www.edheads.org/activities/knee/ Virtual Knee surgery. You get to use a BONE SAW and STAPLE KNEES CLOSED -Mike Hayes

[] This virtual manipulative allows students to build atoms. The number of protons, neutrons and electrons can be changed and a moving depiction of the atom is created. As the number of particles change wording flashes up that states whether the atom is stable or radioactive. Wording also flashes if the atom is ionized. -Emily Markovitz

http://www.explorelearning.com/index.cfm?method=cResource.dspDetail&ResourceID=424 This gizmo allows students to add protons and neutrons to form different elements -O'Dasha Johnson

[|Electron Configuration] This gizmo allows students to write out the electron configuration for the elements. It forces the students to abide by Hunds rule, and they must place electrons in the correct energy level. The gizmo also shows the atomic radius in a graph for the elements they have completed successfully so they can see the trend of atomic radius as a function of atomic number. - Tammy Beilke

= __Math Resources__ = [] This is so freaking cool its not even funny. Move the boat around the water by changing the magnitude and direction of the boat's speed (blue vector) or the magnitude and direction of the water current (red vector). Try to land the boat on the island — but be careful not to hit the walls! -Erica Walker [] This website has alot of resources for all sorts of academic contents. I like it because it helps if you are planning to do an integrated lesson because all the activities are easily accessible. It might help for the integrated lesson projects. ~ Corey Morrison

[] A virtual manipulative for helping students visualize hyperbolas and their properties. - Tom Metzger

[] A nice virtual manipulative using branching trees to explore probability and the binomial distribution. - Evan Hartman

http://www.mathforum.com This site is a massive database with many useful tools. It has discussion boards on a multitude of math topics and also discussions on math education reform. It also has links to other online math resources, math problems of the week, and even professional development course. ~ Zack Patterson

http://illuminations.nctm.org/ActivitySearch.aspx This site provides virtual manipulatives for K-12 grade students in all different subjects of math and science. Jan Spaulding

[] A virtual manipulative that demonstrates Riemannn Sums using both left and right enpoints of a given function. -Stacey Hauser

[|http://www.Mathplayground.com/logicgames/] This site includes math games that help improve logic and reasoning skills. Useful for all ages, this site could be used either to kill time or to work up a mental sweat. -Andrew Helmlinger

[] This is a very simple but useful site that has lesson plans and resources for a wide variety of math subjects. -Andrew Helmlinger

[] This is a great exercise for practicing synthetic division (dividing polynominals) -Amy Kaufman

[] This is a gizmo for ordering fractions, but it has good use for teaching common denominators and zero in the numerator. I didn't use it for its intended use but it can be changed to fit addition and subtraction of fractions or even multiplication if extended properly. ~Corey Morrison

Visual Calculus http://archives.math.utk.edu/visual.calculus/ This website has tutorials and lessons on many topics of math ranging from pre-calculus, limits and continuity, derivatives, and series. There are different applications that you can manipulate to explore how functions behave. - Jeremy Stuhlfauth

[] Dividing Fractions Gizmo -Raja Ali

http://www.explorelearning.com/index.cfm?method=cResource.dspView&ResourceID=307 This virtual manipulative allows students to experiment with finding permutations and combinations. -Christie Mills

http://www.explorelearning.com/index.cfm?method=cResource.dspView&ResourceID=183 Helps to calculate distance between two points on a cartesian coordinate grid Shows how the distance formula works by use of the pythagorean theorem - Josh Brown

[] This is a logic game called MasterMind – careful, it’s addicting! This website (mathisfun.com) has a lot of great resources. -Mary Vonck

[]- This is the gizmo that we used in class about solving linear equations. ~ Candice Finch

[] Collection of mathematics games and activities covering a multitude of varying concepts - Scott Housel

[] Virtual Manipulative that helps students simplify trigonometric expressions. Students are given a trig expression and then given options for their next step. This would be helpful for students who have already learned how to simplify expressions rather than how to teach the topic. -Ashton Shetler

[]This is a virtual manipulative for algebra tiles. There's a button to generate a polynomial and then you have to create a rectangle which will help you figure out how to factor the polynomial. There are examples and directions. //~Monique Owens//

[] This virtual manipulative works with probability and topics such as independent vs. dependent. It does a lot of the calculation for you, but it does allow you to quickly see the difference that drawing with replacement makes compared to drawing without replacement. ~David Bowers
