  • Resources for Teaching Biological Physics / Biophysics

    This web site gives an informal listing of articles on teaching biophysics, biophysics textbooks, and hyperlinks for biophysics courses nationwide, plus a few English-language sites in other countries.

  • The International Union for Pure and Applied Biophysics (IUPAB)

    The International Union for Pure and Applied Biophysics (IUPAB) is a member of the ICSU (International Council for Science) family. Affiliated to it are the national adhering bodies of more than 50 countries. Its function is to support research and teaching in biophysics. Its principal regular activity is the triennial International Congresses and General Assemblies.

  • Practical Uses of Math and Science (PUMAS)

    A collection of brief examples showing how math and science topics taught in K-12 classes can be used in interesting settings, including every day life. The examples are written primarily by scientists, engineers, and other content experts having practical experience with the material. They are aimed mainly at classroom teachers, and are available to all interested parties via the PUMAS web site.

  • The Engineering Place

    A collection of resources for teachers to use in their classrooms, put together by NC State University's College of Engineering.

  • Teach Engineering

    Curriculum for K-12 Educators: Standards-aligned engineering lessons and hands-on activities for use in science, engineering, and math classrooms.

  • USF STARS Fellows

    Current Modules being implemented in Schools Based on Sunshine State Standards.

  • ECOS

    The ECOS Program is a partnership between the University of Montana’s Division of Biological Sciencesand College of Forestry and Conservation and the Missoula County Schools Curriculum Consortium. ECOS is funded by the National Science Foundation's GK-12 Program. ECOS is aimed at enhancing teaching skills of graduate students in the sciences and promoting hands-on science education in K-12 schools.

  • CASES Online

    CASES Online is a collection of inquiry-based lessons to engage K-12 and undergraduate students in exploring the science behind real-world problems. 

  • Life Science Teaching Resource Community

    The Life Science Teaching Resource Community is an online community for life science educators at all levels.

  • Biophysics and Your Body

    Physics of the Human Body can be a tool for teachers to support students in meeting the Missouri Grade Level Expectations for Science. As a curriculum supplement, lessons in the module can be used to address gaps in existing curricular materials or enrich teachers’ instruction. As an interdisciplinary module, Physics of the Human Body can be used in diverse ways and with flexibility according to teachers’ and students’ needs.

  • Evolution and Biophysics of Coconuts

    In this experiment students investigating the physics of floating and falling coconuts, using the coconut kernel. This makes an excellent idea for looking at evolution and adaptation in an unusual context. 

  • Cornell Science Inquiry Partnerships

    Resources for science projects developed by graduate and undergraduate students in collaboration with middle and high school teachers.
