Science and Children Online: Oct 2002
One of our goals at Science and
Children is to make use of the Internet to provide our members with
as many resources as possible. This month, look for a great collection
of links that will enhance your activities. For example, if you're
looking to take your students on a kite-flying adventure like the
authors of Let's Go Fly a
Kite!, you'll find detailed plans for making
different kinds of kites at the Australian
Kite Association site. Or link to some classic robot games that
teach some of the same processes that are featured in Real World
Robotics. The online version of How
Deep Is the Water? includes a downloadable and printable data worksheet to help your
students complete the stream depth simulation. Look for the highlighted
link within the article. You will need the Acrobat Reader plug-in to download
the worksheet. For teachers who like the idea of teaching aquatic
monitoring without leaving the classroom, this article also features an
online-only activity using a data logger and probes to investigate a
classroom aquarium. Special thanks to the Jason
Academy for providing this activity.
