SEPUP (The Science Education for Public Understanding Program) creates innovative science curriculum for use in 6–12 education. One of the most unique aspects of SEPUP materials is its issue-oriented approach: SEPUP curriculum uses personal and societal issues to introduce and explore science concepts.
Contains science experiments, and an excellent archive of colorful features. Some sections require Shockwave, which is downloadable from the site. From the National Geographic Society.
