"Scientists rarely work in isolation. Communication and collaboration with others conducting similar kinds of experimentation are crucial components of scientific study. A wide variety of projects are available online which allow students to interact and share data with other students and professionals worldwide. When students share questions, data, and conclusions with others, they achieve the sense of connection felt by all scientists doing research on specific topics. Additionally, becoming part of a large-scale project reinforces the concept that science is used to solve real problems. The variety of free, online projects available is extraordinary. Students can become involved in projects ranging from comparisons of local ecosystems to measuring changes in the Earth's magnetic field to conservation of resources and investigation of endangered species. The following Web sites will prove helpful in selecting a project that is right for you and your students.
