Sky & Telescope Online
Grades
6 to 12In the Classroom
Probably the coolest part of this website is entitled "observing," which provides helpful calendars, explanations and images of solar events that are happening soon locally. Refer to this site for upcoming solar phenomena, and encourage students to go out and observe on their own. If there are events in the area, assign students to observe and create a report based on what they saw! If students are able to gather images of the event, we recommend a tool like PowerPoint Online, reviewed here. This site allows users to narrate a picture, and could provide some cool presentations in class.Add your comments below (available only to members) | Become a Member

The Audubon Society
Grades
4 to 8In the Classroom
There is a lot to explore here. You could start with the home page and the many articles listed there. Have small groups divide up the articles to read and investigate. Then have students with the same article meet together to become the expert on that topic (in cooperative learning, this is known as Jigsaw). Have each student in the Jigsaw group create an Awesome ScreenShot, reviewed here, where they can make digital notes with lines, text, or shapes. Once they form back into their original small group they can report what they learned to the other group members.Add your comments below (available only to members) | Become a Member

Real-time Tracking - NASA
Grades
6 to 12In the Classroom
Before Introducing this sight, look through the photos and choose several that lend themselves to further student exploration, i.e. "cubesats." Then, introduce the site to your class as a whole with your projection system. Show student pairs the images to look at and then have them research more about the topic. Have students take notes on the material and write down questions they still have and topics that confuse them. Use Webnote, reviewed here; tell students to be sure to save the URL to share their notes and questions with you and their peers. Once students have gathered all their information, images, and videos challenge pairs to create a digital book using Book Creator, reviewed here. With Book Creator, students can combine their books later as a class book.Add your comments below (available only to members) | Become a Member
