Resource Bank
We are expanding the selection of resources available on our website. The resources that were available on our old website will continue to be on this page and accessible to everyone. Many of the new resources that we add to the site, in the future, are going to be in a secure, members only area.

Jim Hebden's Chemistry Resources - Updated March 2009
Well known for writing and publishing the Chemistry 11 and Chemistry 12 books that are used in many B.C. high schools, Jim Hebden has made available many of his additional resources via the B.C.Sc.T.A website for use by Chemistry teachers.
Anne Laite's Science 10 Geosciences Review
Produced by B.C.Sc.T.A executive member Anne Laite, these notes provide a comprehensive recourse for the Geosciences unit of the B.C. Science 10 curriculum.
Resources for Rethinking
The Resources for Rethinking database provides teachers with access to materials that integrate ecological, social and economic spheres through active, relevant, interdisciplinary learning. Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) promotes respect for universal human rights, cultural diversity, greater care of life and the protection of Earth’s ecosystems, and a commitment to build a global culture of tolerance and peace.
Malcolm Melcher's Bank of Chemistry Questions and Problems
This project has grown to nearly 7,000 questions/problems. It covers 19 topics, has two levels of difficulty and five types of inquiry: multiple choice, serial multiple choice, matching, free response and serial free response.

Courtenay Middle School - Teacher Resources for Science
A large collection of links for middle school science teachers, collated by Courtenay Middle School, Comox Valley, BC.
High School Science Lessons
This website contains a database of school science experiments based on a revision, updating and expansion of the "New UNESCO source book for science teaching", UNESCO, Paris. It contains experiments from the "low cost" science teaching movement, simplified versions of classical experiments, experiments using locally available substances and kitchen chemicals, and environmental science. Some experiments anticipate experiments usually done in senior high school or college classes. The experiments should be "student-friendly" and "teacher-friendly" because there is no overwhelming technology. Enough theoretical background is included to remind teachers of the theoretical context of the experiment. Every experiment is based on materials listed in a modern commercial catalogue of chemicals and equipment for use by educational institutions. The procedures and safety standards are consistent with instructions issued by Education Queensland (Ministry of Education), State of Queensland, Australia
