[| Porblem-Based Learning] This link is a bit general at first, explaining the concept of problem based learning, but it then goes into some ideas for science. (B.Novak)

[|National Center for Case Study Teaching in Science]This link discusses case studies in science and provides various examples of them for teaching science through case studies. This contains an abundance of resources to help get you thinking. (B.Novak)

[|Creating Problems for PBL] This website is interesting, here's why: it is dated January 1995. So though dated, it's interesting to see that even 15 years ago this concept was being discussed in education (here, more geared toward college education). It's also a focus on chemistry and biochemistry. (B.Novak)

[|Science Case Studies and Problem Based Learning] This article discusses things that can be done with case studies and offers a wonderful example toward the end of the article for a case study project observing humans impact on watersheds. (B.Novak)

Wiki Woman - "This is the new Mrs. Maine -- building her lessons around creative projects and challenging her students to find answers on their own.

PhET - A website perfect for computer simulations, even has other teachers' ideas and labs. (R. Sherman)
