 * __[|Middle School Portal] __ This K-12 site, developed with National Science Foundation support, offers teachers a direct path to resources from the National Science Digital Library. Enter the Science or Math subject pathway to browse a list of topics and take an in-depth look at teachable concepts. The resources have been selected by math and science educators and can be searched by topic, keywords, etc. The Portal is supported by folks at Ohio State University, who regularly add new themes and activities built upon the vast database. Look at these [|in-depth science topics] and these [|in-depth math topics] to see for yourself! Also, while the main focus here is on math and science, you’ll find [|useful ideas] about integrating those subjects with history, art, social studies, and more. We’ll just say it – this is one of the most awesome resources we know about, and it’s designed with middle school in mind.
