I created a framed science bar so that a bunch of good outside resources (animations) will open in this window. The content in the table above that opens in this frame was not created by me. They are other web pages and applications on other pages that open in this page using html frame tehcnology (a page in a page). Teacher's Domain was the most commonly used source. Most of the linked material has copyright information put on it by the owner. For that which does not, I am not at liberty to edit the content of their material and change it. The material below consists of pdfs, word docs and ppts that I have created. The links on the left will open in this frame as well.
