Interesting Links


As we work on this page we will add links that we think might be useful to both the students and their parents. This page by nature will always be a "Work In Progress".


 

    How to Make "Stuff" Although it does contain advertisement, this site has some very interesting "Stuff". There are lots of projects that students might enjoy making
   How to use a Digital Camera in the classroom
   Optics for Kids
  This excellent site for elementary students (along with its sister site Optics for Teens) is produced by the Optical Society of America, a professional organization of scientists, educators and students. Both sites explore careers in optics and the science of light (in What is Optics? and Educational Articles) and have printable study guides for K-12 classrooms. But Optics for Teens, besides having a more subdued color scheme, has two don't-miss-them sections with interactive experiments: Optical Illusions and In the Lab.
 
    Exploratorium: Science Snacks About Light
 Science Snacks are "miniature versions of some of the most popular exhibits at the Exploratorium" science museum of San Francisco. These fifty easy-to-do-at-home experiments involving light are arranged in alphabetic order from Afterimage to Water Sphere Lens. That should keep you busy for awhile, but when you are ready, you'll find more Science Snacks, organized by subject.
