Gooru
 * DESCRIPTION: Gooru is a web site that contains videos, diagrams, quizzes, documents, and much more about topics in both math and science.
 * HOW IT COULD BE USED IN EDUCATION: This web site could definitely be used to find resources in the science (and math) classroom that could help the learning process. Gooru has a bunch of different resources which will help keep lessons interesting and also help students who learn in different ways. This web site also offers lesson plans that could help both science and math teachers.

Chemical Education Digital Library
 * DESCRIPTION: This web site has a wide selection of chemistry resources for both students and teachers. Resources available include student tutorials, lesson plans, and 3D models.
 * HOW IT COULD BE USED IN EDUCATION: One drawback about this web site is that it is specific to chemistry. However, that can also be a good thing because the chemical education digital library has a lot of information about, well, chemistry. This web site could be used to help students understand difficult concepts through viewing tutorials and it also has lesson plans that are organized by subject to make things even easier.

The University of Pennsylvania Health System
 * DESCRIPTION: This web site provides informational videos about injuries, illnesses, diseases, and body systems. It has information on everything from allergies to pregnancy and everything in between. Again, this web site is very subject specific, but it could be very helpful in upper level science and health classes.
 * HOW IT COULD BE USED IN EDUCATION: This web site could be used in education by having students choose or assigning a specific illness and having them research what causes it scientifically. These videos could also be great to add to PowerPoints or wikis that have been created by either teachers or students.

The Periodic Table of Comic Books
 * DESCRIPTION: I did not choose this web site as one of my three because I do not think it has a great deal of educational value and it is designed for younger students. However, I thought this was such a fun idea, I had to share it. Basically, this web site allows users to click on an element present on the periodic table and shows you where that element pops up in certain comic books. I still think this would be something fun for kids to do at home.
