Collaborative Project Sites
https://www.plantingscience.org/
PlantingScience is a free online resource that provides scientist who volunteer to work with students and teachers as they work on their own design projects. There are many other resources, and activities to support innovation in teaching, learning, and mentoring on this site. The program is collaborative engagement in science education that crosses traditional learning settings: K-12 and higher education; learning in and out of class; hands-on and technology-enhanced.

http://www.connectallschools.org/about/overview
This interactive website has been built to enable schools to indicate how they are connected to the world and for new teachers, school administrators and parents to work with consortium partners on building new links. Here teachers and students can work together to bring the world into the classroom and get an opportunity to develop global competency which can include the introduction of global issues curriculum, new World Languages, online collaboration, youth and teacher exchanges, professional development on international education, video-conferences, etc.

Search Engines
Science.gov is operated and maintained by the Office of Science and Technical Information, the same department that collaborates on WorldWideScience.org. This search engine pulls from over 60 databases, over 2,200 websites and 200 million pages of journals, documents and scientific data. Search results can be filtered by author, date, topic and format (text or multimedia).
​
This website was created as a tool to congregate scholarly literature on the web. From one place, students have the ability to hunt for peer-reviewed papers, theses, books, abstracts and articles from academic publishers, professional societies, preprint repositories, universities and other scholarly organizations.
​
This website which refers to itself as “The Global Science Gateway,” is operated by the Office of Scientific and Technical Information—a branch of the Office of Science within the U.S. Department of Energy. The site utilizes databases from over 70 countries. When users type a query, it hits databases from all over the world and will display both English and translated results from related journals and academic resources.

Collaborative Link
https://www.google.com/docs/about/
This collaborative link was choosen as Google classroom is currently being used by most teachers and students in the school. Students already have Google docs accounts and so this would lower the learning curve for them as they are already familiar with its use.
