Hey all. I received great hits! Unfortunately we don't purchase science programs because it's not tested by the state but when I taught science I used an excellent program called Science Sleuths. This was for middle school kids but there are different levels of difficulty and it should be challenging enough for 9th grade. (for those in the elementary schools they also have many more titles for grades 3-6). Try this link. http://www.videodiscovery.com/catalog.asp?product_id=32&view=1 If you need network versions/site licenses I would recommend buying a title from Sunburst (www.sunburst.com). They have a good selection, many titles have won awards, and a network version is only $600.00. I've also bought some titles (math) from Edmark (www.edmark.com). I don't know how often they do it but last spring they had a buy one get one free sale on network versions (also $600.00 regular price). One more thing, the ASCD publishes a software review book called "Only the Best". I encourage anyone who needs to purchase software to get a copy (only $30). It's not overwhelming like many similar guides because they, as the title states, list only the best software titles using a stringent criteria for excellence. Check it out at: http://shop.ascd.org/ProductDisplay.cfm?ProductID=100234 ______________________________________________________________________ You may want to try our EVALUTECH web site (www.evalutech.sreb.org) and use the keyword field for each of your topics and the format field to select software. I would suggest running your search twice on each topic, selecting "software mac/win" to get hybrids and then "software win" for CDs that run on only one platform. _______________________________________________________________________ You might check and see if the Field Museum in Chicago has a web site. They had some pretty neat cd-roms in the store when I visited it during BEA. Hope I got them all! Thanks again. Kathy Thomson Teacher-Librarian S.
