| Kids can learn a lot about various geographic regions and features of
earth on this fun and educational site, which allows kid from
participating schools to post messages to one another. |
| The National Park Service, The History Channel, and The American
Architectural Foundation offer 3000 years of U.S. history through word
and picture. Learn how national landmarks are chosen and visit 43 of
them, each with a brief history and an artist's drawing to print and
color. Includes a teacher's guide. |
| This site is all about the accomplishments of kids. You can check out
their stories, discuss them, chat, sign up with volunteer organizations,
and see other kid-related sites. Most of the stories are about kids who
helped out their communities and how you can too. |
| In 1858, the first nearly-complete skeleton of a dinosaur was found in
Pennsylvania. The story is told here in word and picture (with two
versions even, so you can choose the one best suited to your modem.)
|
| Interactivity to the max. This site has a great wildlife game, a
searchable database of leaves contibuted by kids like you, tree jokes,
and a list of suggested books about the forest. Fun and interesting!
|
| Havern Center is a Denver elementary school for children with learning
disabilities. You can find here a list of symptoms, many and clusters of
which may indicate a learning disability, and you can get an overview of
a program designed "so that a child can say, 'I did it. . .I did it
myself.'" |
| This is an awesome site for middle schoolers (and above!). Lots of
sites talk about making learning fun, but here they've done it. There
are games, chat, riddles, and a seasonal research derby where you can
compete for prizes. Don't miss, "Hey Velma! How Come?" You can
ask that pig anything! |
| The History Channel offers lessons on everything from Martin Luther
King Jr. to lesser-known historical figures and events. Includes both
world and US history. A good source for kids, parents, and teachers. |
| This University of New Mexico project is designed to introduce K-12
students to music from around the world: rock bands from Russia,
classical and even rap music from different cultures. |
| This site, part of the Ben and Jerry's Web site, focuses on teaching
non-violent approaches to conflict. A neat resource that can help kids
learn conflict management skills. |
| After falling from a boring art museum lecture and landing "inside"
a painting by Van Gogh, you can read about the artist, style, location,
and more, in a fun and interesting "adventure in art history."
With excellent use of color, image, and word, this is big fun! |
| This interactive, educational site helps kids learn about science,
transportation, animals, the Internet, and more. There are frequent
invitations to create and submit artwork, stories, and more. There's
also an area where kids can talk to other kids. A definite winner. |
| This is "A Guide For Those Who Want To Know 'Just Enough To Have
Fun!' " Well organized and easy to read, Internet 101 provides good
basic information and allows you to choose areas where you'd like to
learn more. This would make a great tool for teachers and students. |
| This project was started by Dr. Robert Ballard (the guy who found the
Titanic) because he wanted to invlove kids in his explorations.
Interactive programs are broadcast during the annual scientific
exploration, which is the focus of a curriculum for grades 4 through 8.
There are places for kids to connect with other students, teachers,
schools, and organizations, and an area to learn about the technology.
