As a science teacher, my favorite site is Bad Science.

Oh and I almost forgot, my favorite site for teaching web design (for all
you home-schoolers who are teaching your kids HTML :-):

I heard (second-hand) about a parent touring an Atlanta high school who
stopped to take in a little of a chemistry class.

One of the students asked the teacher why the elements were in that
particular order on the element chart.

The teacher replied, "That's the order in which they were discovered."

This is so mind-boggling that I'm thinking it's sort of an urben legend.
Or could it be true?

NO WAY!!! At a high school? I can't see how that would be possible.
MAYBE at an elementary school if the teacher had had *NO* science training
(and many of them haven't). But in a high school chemistry class?

BTW I don't think that one would even make the "bad science" web site!

Oh and another one, I almost forgot my favorite site--Optical Illusions!!!
www.sandlotscience.com

This is the only web assignment I've ever given where I didn't even have to
give a specific assignment--I just took my kids to the computer lab and told
them to check it out. Most of them logged on again from home just to play
around!

Might have been a teacher who was teaching off certificate, I suppose.

There really is no excuse for that though. If s/he did not know, s/he
certainly should not have answered.

I can't believe I didn't even think of that as a possible explanation -
yeah, if it's true, it could be a somebody teaching out of field.
