I promise I’ll move on to some non-science sites in the coming weeks, but as I try and build things for this year I’ve just got a bunch of science resources that are really, really cool.  This week’s site is Earth/Sky Kids, a site for current, science related material.  The site is divided by subject areas (space, animals, plants, bizarre, etc…) and each area has a number of current articles relating to that area of science.  In addition, there are a number of podcasts included and blogs for discussion on topics.  All in all, a wealth of info on what’s happening right now in science.  The articles themselves can be used by students in fifth grade and up (most likely), but the ideas can certainly be posed to younger students and used as a reference by all teachers.  Personally, I’ve been using the articles with my seventh graders for their weekly science article reviews, which I hope to have up on our class blog soon (still working out some technical issues on it-but look for the link soon!)

Learn well!
