You could use a blog in your science classroom by using it as a tutorial where students can posts questions/comments about things and others can share in the conversation with their thoughts and ideas.
I would use it to assign a list of vocabulary to the students. Each student posts one vocabulary word, its definition, a picture, and a non-example (Frayer model). Then every student can access these vocabulary lists for study purposes. Secondly, I would use it as a study session for exams.
You may use it as a science journal. Teacher may post a question in an attempt to gauge the students understanding of a concept; either to check for misconceptions, prior knowledge, and or understanding after lesson.
I could use a blog in the classroom by: * sharing class notes (for every student) * to update our schedule * update on upcoming events (like a field trip) * give assignments * have a good communication to studnet-parents.
You can use a blog to have students help their peers with homework questions. You could use a blog to help with projects that involve classroom topics or debate. Also you can use it to post questions for understanding of a lesson or to review for an assessment.
It could be a powerful tool for students that are embarrassed to ask questions in front of others. They could post the question and other students could post their answers and later it could be a classroom discussion.
I could use the blog as a discussion board on a question I ask my students. Students would reflect and post ideas/opinions about the question. I would require my students to comment on others responses, maybe asking their peers more questions about others views on the question. (peer to peer discussion)
I also thought of using it to have students build a study guide for quizzes or tests.
I could use it for discussion questions. Students could answer an open-ended question and other students could comment on their answer and back and forth. It would be a great way to see other's ideas.
Students will have the ability to network and work as a community to exchange ideas and data for projects and labs that they are working in. This can also be setup as daily discussions so that you can assess the student's knowledge on daily topics according to what they are posting. This is also a great tool to use with parents, so that they can know what is going on inside the classroom.
I could use it for students to post comments of classroom activities. Students would be able to give their opinion of how we can modify the activity or what we could have done different to represent the concept.
Blogging can help students develop their literary skills, especially for those students who are ESL or LEP. Students will also be more likely to participate when using hands-on technology (because its closely related to texting/e-mail/facebook). I believe blogging is a fun way of expressing their learning experience without them really knowing it :)

This would be a good way to put homework assignments online and a way for the parents to check what is being assingned as well. Also, this would be a good way to remind students about labs because most times they forget shoes and pants.
This would be an awesome tool for the students who use it as a homework and assignment tracker. A student that is absent would know what they missed and could stay caught up in class. I could also post a journaling question about what we learned during the week and have the kids blog about what they have learned.
You can post Extra credit questions. Have students help each other in Homework questions. (:
