[LM_NET] TARGET: science current events sites

[Susan Guerrant <sguerrant@K12ALBEMARLE.ORG>]

I have a sixth grade teacher with students functioning on  a third or fourth
grade reading level who will be looking up science-themed current events
articles.  Our magazine and database subscriptions are all targeted at
higher level readers.  Can anyone recommend some free sites where students
on this level could get information about science current events--info on
hurricanes, global warming, animals, Pluto, etc?
Thank you; I'll post a hit if there is interest.
