Recommendation:

While this site is mostly text, the topic is unique and intriguing in the field of Science. The articles are well written with concrete examples. For the most part, students can easily understand the writing. While this feature will probably be removed or deleted at some point, it connects to the Science Magazine´s main site which contains lots of useful resources for Science teachers.

Description:

Study Science looking forward. What are the issues facing scientists today? From the website: "In a special collection of articles published beginning 1 July 2005, Science Magazine and its online companion sites celebrate the journal's 125th anniversary with a look forward -- at the most compelling puzzles and questions facing scientists today. A special, free news feature in Science explores 125 big questions that face scientific inquiry over the next quarter-century; accompanying the feature are several online extras including a reader's forum on the big questions. The `Signal Transduction Knowledge Environment´ highlights some classic Science papers that have influenced the study of cell signaling. The `Science of Aging Knowledge Environment´ looks at several important questions confronting researchers on aging. And `Science 's Next Wave´ introduces us to four young scientists building their careers grappling with some of the very questions that Science has identified."

Possible uses:

Find compelling articles to share with students to discuss the future of science. Have students read and discuss articles in small groups and share a summary with the entire class afterwards. Students and teachers can also share their ideas, especially if they find a topic missing, use the forum to add it. Connect to Science Magazine through the site for further resources.
