Web-based student learning

My students worked on the forces unit for science in class. In order to support their learning I had my students work on two web-based activities...one was specifically on Bridges (Super Bridge, build a bridge) and the other on forces (forces lab). There are other classroom activities and material that can be used at this site. http://www.pbs.org/teachers

Using Newspapers in Class

The website below has the image of the front page of many newspapers from around the world. Updated daily, it can be used in the classroom for world issues, geography, literacy and even cultural studies. The front pages are in their original and unedited form......ensure that material available for that day is deemed appropriate. http://www.newseum.org/todaysfrontpages/flash/
