16- http://sciencecases.lib.buffalo.edu/

The use of case studies in science education is recent.  In the 20 years of working with this method, the initiators of this website have found it to be a powerful pedagogical technique for teaching science.  Cases can be used not only to teach scientific concepts and content, but also process skills and critical thinking.  And since many of the best cases are based on contemporary, and often contentious, science problems that students encounter in the news, the use of cases in the classroom makes science relevant.
