Science

Structure of an [|experiment]and other science fair things.

SPACE! - Here is a neat [|interactive] site that can be shared with all ages. It is probably good for a look through the other aspects of it - this link is just to the planet earth and beyond part - I found it on the mimio connect website.

We found this neat site this afternoon and it gives s [|definition of a planet]. We wanted to know what the biggest planet was and someone suggested the sun - it sprung from there. Can't figure out what the biggest of something is, if we don't know what the thing is! :-)

Kind of cool [|site] - in space in the solar system looking around. That is cool. But i havent investigated the build your own world - which sounds really cool!

This "[|Star Child]" site is quite good, for all ages. Could look at it with the CAMPER thinking skills tool - consequences/consistency, assumptions/accuracy, meaning/main points, prejudice/points of view, evidence/examples, reliability/relevance.

This is a neat site for all ages, but has a jr look to it. It is to help [|categorise animals] into mammals, fish, amphibians, reptiles and birds. Great pictures and easy to follow information.

This is a neat site to perhaps demonstrate or introduce [|science concepts]. It links through to the age 5-6 contents page, but down the sides are the other ages and they all look quite good. Worth a look :-)

I have just had the best play on this site. It is the [|National Geographic] site for kids. It has a lot of great information on animals in written, video and picture forms. It is really worth a look! Just click on the tabs across the top and on the links down the bottom to find what you are looking for. A very easy to navigate site. Part of it is a brain teaser section. The information in this can link to the turquiose reader [|tornadoes] to check their comp. Get the children to tell you their score afterwards!

This site was recommended to me by someone else. I have had a wee look and it seems to have heaps of fun and useful things on it. It is from the Discovery Channel, so I thought it could go under science, but it also has other links. [|Science Fair ideas], science topics in [|general]. Check out the other curriculum for other links from this cool site, or have a noisy yourself!
