Mr. Flick asked that we update his site with a new URL so you could have access to his songs all year round.  He has a link on that page for his Youtube page as well.  Great job, Mr. Flick

Cute songs written by a teacher to help his class remember things.  Very well done.

While some of the links here are listed separately, anyone working on Earth changes will need the entire site. Nice for webquests or projects.

I haven’t done this activity, but have used some of the others they’ve got listed. They’ve worked very nicely. Well worth looking at.

Another thing I ran across by accident that I wish I’d found sooner. I really like this one, just because it’s a bit different. Click on the stories at the bottom left and the Earth changes to show that story. You can actually manipulate the globe see what all parts and can make it full screen as well. Very slick.

Good information and lesson plan for earthquakes and volcanoes. Great time saver for those of us with way too much to do.

Lots and lots of resources for your Astronomy units. I’ve looked at pieces of it from time to time, but went ahead and listed the educator’s page so you can decide where you’d like to go.

I have this site listed as a whole, but then decided to list this page as well. I’ll probably use the powerpoint and some of the animations, though most are a little advanced for my kids.

It’s a NASA site and is okay for running the sim, but not extremely exciting.

The size of each dot indicates the magnitude of the earthquake.”

Also helped them see what was going on around them and to understand the importance of all those little quakes.
