ziizoo blog

Over the past year I have come across a lot of neat sites that either teach students using interesting tutorials or just have a lot of really good content. I figured I would share them so that students and tutors can have a resource for teaching methods, lesson plans, etc.

I will try to update this every week or so.

Karl’s Calculus
Karl’s Calculus is the #1 search result in both Yahoo and Google when you search on “calculus tutor”. That pretty much sums up everything about this site. If you are looking for calculus-related content, this is the destination.

General Chemistry Online
General Chemistry Online is a chemistry site with a TON of content. It has toolbars, calculators, simulations, you name it and it has it. This is great reference material to supplement a tutoring session on ziizoo.

Rader’s Kapili
Kapili.com is a portal to several life science sites for kids. There is a chemistry site, a biology site, a physics site, a geology site, and interestingly, a cosmology site. Each site is illustrated with a sort of comic-book style that makes it pleasing to both adults and kids. The concepts are pretty bare-bone and start from the beginning. This may not be a great resource for graduate-level science classes, but for a struggling 7th-grader it is perfect.
