This is a tutorial for AccessScience, a database created by McGraw-Hill with access to reference material spanning all major scientific disciplines such as biology, chemistry, physics, engineering, technology, and psychology. Resources include articles, biographies, projects, and news, as well as a "for faculty" section with tips and features for teachers. This database could be used by students in grades 6-12, college students, teachers, and faculty. One way I would implement this in my classroom is by using the curriculum map to match resources to content areas. For example, the curriculum map recommends a specific video animation to teach the concept of molecular resonance.

While Access Science is not a database I can see me using often in my own course work, it is something that I can point my students to for various research assignments. I try to include at least one assignment each semester that focuses on students' chosen fields, and this could be a good source for that. I also like that it has all of the functions to make a search convenient and easy.
