A bit of a break this week from the homework:

As I read your homework, many of you have found super curricula. This is an effort to share your finds.
List your two favorites. First, identify which category it best fits:

Universe
Galaxies
Solar System
Earth/Moon System
Climate
Oceans
Dynamic Earth

Title of the home page.
Give the URL address
Write 1 paragraph, “What is so great about this lesson.”
Turn in next week. I will compile the list by the above categories and post it on our website. You have the fabulous finds of everyone in class!

These sites MUST be science approved. Verify that you are on a legitimate site – NASA, NOAA, University, Natural History Museum, most school districts, ESDs or State Department of Education. Remember to separate religious knowledge from scientific knowledge for this.
