However, on to this week’s site.  It’s called the Exploratorium, and is one of the most diverse, thorough, and thoroughly fascinating science sites I’ve ever come across.  Currently there is an interactive section on scientific process and evolution that includes artifacts, interviews with experts, and lots of great questions.  I also watched a video they made from a recent solar eclipse that could be seen in China (yes, they actually filmed in China).  Not only do they explain how and why eclipses happen, they show it to through their telescope.  Just great, great stuff packaged with a super design and layout.  I would say almost any grade level could find appropriate science content here with the large volume of multi-media content available.  Check it out today!

Learn well!
