Science Buzz has several unique features that can help teachers integrate the active world of science research into their current classroom practices.

The Buzz has Standards

The Buzz Blog is a regularly updated community newsletter highlighting current science news, events, and findings. Every entry in the Buzz Blog is categorized in accordance with the State of Minnesota's Science Education Standards. Are you teaching a lesson about the "Flow of Energy," "Human Organism," or the "Scientific World View"? We make it easy for you to track down different stories relevant to your standards-based lesson plans.

Give your Students a Voice

Science Buzz is experimenting with ways to let visitors talk to us and each other. Your students can easily post their comments, analysis, and local experience, and be part of a discussion that stretches far beyond the walls of your classroom.

A Portal to Science News

Want to read some of the world's finest science news websites all in one place? At the Science Buzz news page, you and your students can find out what's going on in the world of science today. We aggregate science news from The New York Times, The BBC, New Scientist, the National Academies of Science, and more, all in one easy-to-read place.

And we're planning much more. So check back soon.
