Scientific research and discovery is happening at an exponential rate - too fast for one person to stay entirely up-to-date. It is important, then, that science teachers know where to find information and resources that are relevant to student learning. During PSIII, I found it very useful to use social media as a means of getting updates from the field of science. Whenever news items were released that related to curriculum, I made an effort to share the news with students and follow it up with a class discussion. In my experience, bringing these resources into the classroom not only enhanced student engagement, but also provided an avenue by which students could independently pursue their own interests. Below are some of the resources I frequently used for science news
