Are you in need of some WAY COOL science sites for your class? Here are a few of my favorites:
Discovery Channel’s Volcano Explorer: Find volcanoes around the world; go inside a volcano, build your own and watch it erupt.
Volcano Maker: Build a volcano and watch it erupt. After you build your volcano, click the keywords to learn about the parts of a volcano. Cool sound effects. Very dramatic.
CNN’s Anatomy of a Volcano: Short, but effective, description of how a volcano erupts.
National Geographic’s Forces of Nature: Tornadoes, Volcanoes, Hurricanes, and Earthquakes, OH MY! Each section of the website has information and an interactive section. Facts and fun in one!
Explore Mars Now: Realistic images allow students to simulate what it could be like to explore Mars with robots and vehicles.
The Virtual Body: Interactive tour of the different systems of the human body. Available in English or Spanish. There is also a choice for a “narrated tour”.
