Target: Elem. Science

[Diane Pozar <dpozar@EMAIL.MSN.COM>]

I am looking for web sites and/or books on the water cycle, carbon cycle &
nitrogen cycle for  intermediate level Science.  Also, does anyone know of
any good web sites for Science teachers on ideas, hints, lesson plans? (same
level)

Thanks-I'll post a hit if people are interested.

PROJECT ANNOUNCEMENT #2

Title:  The Global Sun/Temperature Project

Dates:  April 3, 2000 to May 26, 2000, (Measurement takes place the week of
May 1- May 5)

Purpose: The purpose of this project is to determine how the average daily
temperature and hours of sunlight in a specific location are affected by how
close that location is to the equator.

Subjects: General Science, Mathematics, Language Arts
Grade Level: Ages 9-12 (Any age may participate)

Summary: In this collaborative project, students gather local temperature and
sunlight data during a specific week of the project.  This information, along
with specific latitude and longitude descriptors of the school location, is
submitted to the web site.  The data from all participants is compiled into a
database which the students will use to compare and contrast their
temperature and sunlight data with results from classes all over the world.
The students will answer the question, "How does proximity to the equator
affect average daily temperature and hours of sunlight?" Students'final
reports will be posted on the web site.

Number of Participants: Unlimited

Registration: No fee. Registration details will be found on the project web
site:
