I used Quia to give a test for my earth science class and physical science class. It is a great site! It grades everything for you and gives you a breakdown of how your kids did. It doesn't take any longer to make the test and you cut down on a lot of grading time. The Earth science kids loved it and the physical science kids didn't but they all said that they think they would like it now after they have had some practice with it.

I have also started a wiki to help Earth Science communicate between the two sections for a project that we are doing. We are in the beginning stages of finding information on earthquakes that have happened in the month of March. They were to find as many earthquakes as they could that happened in March of 2011 and put the date, where the earthquake happened and how large the earthquake was.

Lastly I started an edmodo class for earth science. It turns out that when there are a lot of people editing a wiki it brings up a message that your edits override other edits while you are working so some of the information was being lost. We decided to share our information on edmodo instead for our earthquake project.
