The site for health and bioscience teachers and students. Access Excellence, launched in 1993, is a national educational program that provides health, biology and life science teachers access to their colleagues, scientists, and critical sources of new scientific information via the World Wide Web. The program was originally developed and launched by Genentech Inc., and in 1999 joined the National Health Museum, a non-profit organization founded by former U.S. Surgeon General C. Everett Koop as a national center for health education. Access Excellence will form the core of the educational component of the National Health Museum Website that is currently under development.

Through funding from NASA, faculty at Montana State University and classroom teachers from across the nation have developed an extensive library of on-line and interactive K-12 science education materials for teaching astronomy. Closely aligned with the NRC National Science Education Standards, these web based lessons make maximum use of exciting on-line NASA resources, data, and images. In addition to classroom-ready materials using contemporary teaching strategies, CERES has developed several on-line NASA data search engines and two graduate level distance learning courses, available over the internet to K-12 teachers.

The Chemistry Collective is a collection of virtual labs, scenario-based learning activities, and concepts tests which can be incorporated into a variety of teaching approaches as pre-labs, alternatives to textbook homework, and in-class activities for individuals or teams. It is organized by a group of faculty and staff at Carnegie Mellon University for college and high school teachers who are interested in using, assessing, and/or creating engaging online activities for chemistry education.

Welcome to the COAST Resource Guide. This material, intended for use by teachers to structuring classroom activities, is divided into two sections that reflect the different emphases and requirements of elementary and middle school programs, and high schools. The elementary and middle school section is developed from the award winning Operation Pathfinder, Best of the Best, and is an electronic version of the Resource Guide for Oceanography and Coastal Processes. The high school section is being developed to reflect the structure of the COAST Visualization Web Site. In order to better integrate with high school curricula, this material is structured to reflect the emphasis at that level on math and science. The web site is therefore organized into two realms: physical and chemical parameters and processes, and biota and biotic processes. These are further broken down into various subjects.
