Hello everyone! I am new to this community and navigating the many uses this site offers. While I am still working on my degree in elementary education, I was curious as to if anyone had recomendations. I would love to gather as many resources as possible that will aid my future instruction. What are some things that have supported your science lessons? 

I am also new to the NSTA community. This site seems like it has so much great information regarding science. I was never really intrested in science but navigating this site there are so many topics that caught my attention. I too would love to get as much resources as possible that will help me as a teacher in the future. 

Welcome!  It can be overwhelming because there are so many resources tucked in nooks and crannies everywhere.  For me, I'd start with building a collection of Science and Children journals.  Each one focuses on a topic, i.e., Earth and Space Science, Digital Literacy, Language of Science.  It's filled with implementable lessons, ideas, and resources.  

As a member, you have access to archived issues.  You can save them in your library for future reference. 

I've used them for teaching ideas, professional learning, and inspiration.  The journal offers a little taste of meeting at a professional conference where unique ideas, strategies, and learning occur in workshops and the hallways!  

Enjoy and keep asking questions!
