The
American Musuem of Natural History
|
This site contains a
resources
for learning section with research, fieldwork, exhibitions, and
collections adapted for online use. The Ology section has kids
dig into topics such as paleontology, astronomy, archaeology, genetics,
marine biology, physical science, and biodiversity. Students can
play games, meet real "ologists" asking questions, reading stories, and
taking polls and quizzes. The seminars on science section offers
courses. Eight six-week online courses explore the life, earth,
and physical sciences. It brings K-12 educators virtually into
the Museum's collections, laboratories, and exhibitions. The
science bulletins section offers short video documentaries which
introduce world-class scientists on the job.

Wild Weather
Adventure |
This
interactive website is a virtual weather and geography board game. You
can choose 1-4 players, the difficulty level, a name for your "weather
ship", the color of your ship, and other personalized features. Students
spin a wheel and then move their ship a certain number of spaces. Then,
they are asked a question related to the weather (there are different
levels of difficulty). Geography skills are also tested in this game;
the virtual "gameboard" is a world map. Geography facts and questions
are provided throughout the game. |

Exploratorium Ice Stories |
In a series of live webcasts
held in celebration of the International Polar Year
(2007-2008), educators at the Exploratorium in San Francisco
will be talking throughout the month with scientists at
McMurdo Station near the South Pole about the many research
projects they're conducting. For instance, this season three
giant helium balloons will launch near McMurdo Station,
collecting data about cosmic rays--very high-energy
particles that zip through the galaxy at nearly the speed of
light. If conditions permit, Exploratorium educators will be
talking with the balloon scientists from their ice facility
at Williams Field, where the giant balloons are inflated and
launched and their flights are tracked. The museum is
holding live webcasts on this and other topics Jan. 4, 11,
12, 18,and 25, and educators also can explore its archive of
previous South Pole webcasts, which feature research on
penguins, ice cores taken from miles beneath the earth's
surface, and construction of a new10-meter telescope at the
South Pole. |
