Interactive exhibits to make science fun

November 12th, 2019

 

It’s Tuesday, November 12, 2019, and time for Science at ClickSchooling!

 

Recommended Website:

Science U

(www.scienceu.com/)

Age Range: 8-18 (Grades 3-12, with parental supervision)

 

This is a remarkable website that offers interactive exhibits to make science fun. The multimedia articles and activities are of a higher caliber than many websites designed for kids – so it will cause visitors to stretch a little and broaden their knowledge painlessly.

When you get to the site you will see that the menu is set up like a university campus. Click on the Observatory and learn about the solar system and space. Click on the Geometry Center and learn about fractals and tessellations. Click on the Library and discover information about the weather, seasons, plants and flowers and much more! The site is designed so that users can create their own animations as they experiment with new scientific concepts.

This website is one that can provide ongoing science curriculum supplements. Bookmark it and return often to take advantage of the many offerings. The site also has a “campus store” where you can purchase some of the materials and books recommended for further study in the activities section but there is no purchase necessary to use the free activities.

Visit Ski Resorts Around the World

January 11th, 2019

 

It’s Friday, January 11, 2019, and time for a Virtual Field Trip at ClickSchooling!

 

Recommended Website:

Snoweye

(www.snoweye.com/)

Age Range: All (All grades, children with parental supervision)

 

This website offers a view of ski resorts throughout the world through live cameras in thousands of locations.

Type the resort name into the search engine, or click on the country in the upper tool bar, then the location of your choice, and a new screen appears with thumbnail images from the cameras. Click on an image for a full screen view. In some cases the cameras are live streams, and in others the images are updated at regular intervals throughout the day. (Some cameras only operate seasonally.)

You can extend the learning on this virtual field trip by keeping a world globe handy as you visit various ski resorts – point to the country it’s located in on the globe. Not only do you get a glimpse into life on the ski slopes, but weather throughout the world. If the country is located in the Southern Hemisphere, and the camera operates year-round, you will see a very different weather image at this time of year than you will when visiting ski resorts in the Northern Hemisphere.
