Some favorite science teacher links

I know there are a billion blogs out there by teachers who love to share a billion helpful links. But, this one is mine. I am hoping it will be helpful to others, but I also just want a place to keep ideas and lists and photos and classroom lessons/demos.
I'll try not to waste anyone's time with links that I haven't really explored, links that are out-of-date, or links that are glorified advertisements (although I can't guarantee this won't change over time). I will update this list from time to time.
