I am working on my online course and came across some useful information for rubrics and background research for online learning. The link is included - but the really cool part is down at the bottom of the page where you can explore multiple rubric 'makers'.
Useful Resources for Science I have my current students using the NSTA Learning Center , but there are parts of this resource that are free to everyone. You can search through articles, websites, and activities. Often they provide discounted memberships. I don't know that I would purchase it without having a need for the membership as a whole, but it is handy.  
 Types of angiosperms (flowering plants) This iris is an example of a monocot. This Saucer Magnolia is an example of a dicot. Monocots = have leaves with veins running side by side. They don't look very complex in terms of construction. The flower parts are also in groups of 3 or multiples.   Dicots = leaves look a little more complex with veins running into each other. These flower parts are in 2, 4, 5's or multiples thereof.
