Wiki ideas in Science: A student glossary of scientific terms with illustrations and definitions added by the class(using original digital photos or those from other online Creative Commons sources, such as Flickr). Linking to separate pages with detailed information allows the main glossary list to remain reasonably short.
A taxonomy of living things with information about each branch in the study of Biology over a full year.
Designs of experiments (and resulting lab reports) for a chemistry class.
Observations from field sites, such as water testing in local streams, weather observations from across a state, or bird counts during migratory season. This activity would also work well as a collaboration with other schools in different states.
Detailed and illustrated descriptions of scientific processes: how mountains form, etc.

My first post! I'm curious to see the application value of this for my class.
