NASA & NASD

NASA's Kids' Science News Network (a.k.a. "KSNN") is a standards-based program that uses the Web, animation, and video to introduce science, technology, engineering, math, and NASA concepts. It's divided into primary and intermediate grade levels and addresses topics like weather, magnetism, money, etc. There's much more so check it out. Registration required - but it's free at http://ksnn.larc.nasa.gov/home.html!

Check out Mrs. Gordon's 5th grade website. Her kids read online about the Freedom Trail before they went on their trip to Boston and took pictures of historical places when they got there. Back in the classroom, pairs of students constructed simple webpages incorporating their photos. An "imagemap" of the Freedom Trail was made from a drawn and scanned map and kids learned how to create links right on it that led to their pages. Take a look at the link below! http://www.newfound.k12.nh.us/bes/freedomtrail.htm
