Incorporating images in the science classroom is a must. It is especially important because many of the topics we talk about are microscopic and using images can help students visualize for better understanding. The Periodic Table is an image that is essential in chemistry. As a chemistry teacher, I am constantly using the Periodic Table to show students how they can gather information about the elements. Having Creative Commons as a resource makes it easier to gather images, such as the periodic table, and use them comfortably with the proper permission. Below is an example of an image of the Periodic Table that I could use in my classroom.

Here is a link to a picture I posted on Flickr. The picture is from a lab in which we were investigating the length of day versus the changes in leaf color.

These are really neat Kyle. I love the plant leaves especially. It makes me wonder how much the color changes with the sun...
