=Strategies for Wikis in Science Class=
 * Applications of Wiki use in science classrooms are only limited by the creativeness of the teacher and students to support science learning. The following are a few examples.**


 * Students collaborate in:**


 * defining science terms using images
 * links to detailed explanations
 * online videos on Teacher Tube


 * Glossary of Scientific Terms**
 * Example: students develop an interactive glossary for defining physical science terms throughout the entire school year.


 * //Taxonomy//** – a student developed identification, naming, and classification of living things during their life science or biology course.
 * Example: students develop the taxonomy of specific plants using definitions and images.


 * //Investigations//** – student groups report on experimental designs and submit investigation reports to their teacher.
 * Example: students collaborate in the investigation of the mystery, why honey bees are are disappearing.
 * Visit [|Science Case Studies and Problem Based Learning] for additional information.


 * //Collaborate with Other Schools//** – teachers and students can develop working relationships with other schools around the country or world to collect data for scientific investigations.
 * Example: students work with students in other parts of the country or countries to determine acidity of rain.


 * //Visual Arts//** – students groups can collaborate in research to find web-based resources which describe scientific processes using works of art.
 * Example: students upload images or animations which visually represent how mountains are formed
