California Science State Standards We already have these, of course, but sometimes it's nice to be able to access them from the web.
Edheads has great flash demonstrations of knee and hip surgeries along with an interactive lesson/game about Simple Machines.
Amazing Space Amazing Space is a set of web-based activities primarily designed for classroom use, but made available for all to enjoy. Be brave and take the Astronaut Challenge, find out the truth about Black Holes, or sign up for the Hubble Deep Field Academy.
Best of Hubble If you are looking for images of space, then you should try this site. The images on this site are from the Hubble Space Telescope. They are always updating the links so there are fresh images.

Inquirer's Guide to the Universe If your students are interested in the universe (or even if they don't know that they're interested in the universe), point them to this excellent site. It is devoted to space, science fact and fiction, and writing about space.
Ask a Science Question This site provides links to other sites where you can send in wuestions to be answered by scientists. Included is everything from Ask an Antarctic Expert to Ask a Volcanologist.
Bill Nye A good science site, if somewhat slow to load at times, that uses Flash to offer interactive daily activities and questions of the week as well as information on the television show.
Biology Project An online interactive resource for learning biology. Covers biochemistry, cell biology, chemicals & human health, developmental biology, human biology, immunology, genetics and molecular biology.
Human Heart Everything that relates to the heart. There are teacher resource materials, x-ray images, sounds of the heart, poetry, music, a tour and more. The site offers many video clips, even one of an open heart surgery.
The Jason Project A great site, it is one for all teachers! The JASON Foundation for Education, which was founded to administer the project, sponsors an annual scientific expedition which is the focus of an original curriculum developed for grades 4 through 8.
NASA Quest NASA links to the current educational activities they are sponsoring and includes archived lessons, information about the initiative, and a lot more.
