Eye of the Storm

Eye of the Storm Some animations from CBS News on hurricanes.  Only problem I have is the size they open up as.  But, still good stuff.

Exploring the Environment – Modules and Activities

Exploring the Environment – Modules and Activities I spent quite a bit of time looking over this, trying to decide whether or not I would list it.  The site hasn’t been updated since 2004, but the information is all gathered in one place and for the most part is still pertinent.  Some of it says [...]

LiveScience I seldom list sites this way, but I’m going to this time.  There are alot of good short videos on here that would be useful in a classroom.  On a variety of topics, there are just too many to list individually.  If you find a good one, leave a comment and I’ll be glad [...]

Yosemite Nature Notes – Frazil Ice

Yosemite Nature Notes – Frazil Ice Interesting concept, this frazil ice.  I’d try to explain it, but I think the video does a better job.  Watching it flow and seeing what it does was rather entertaining all on its own.  And the frozen waterfall is amazing.
