I followed this link from the course site: http://www.computerhope.com/issues/ch000689.htm and found hope that I might be able to fix my old laptop! If not, I will sure have fun taking it apart!
Surf's up!!! Every good surfer is an amateur meteorologist. NOAA is the go to site for tracking tropical storms, low pressures, cold fronts and swells. How is that for hands on science you can use!
I see a road trip in my near future....
I was quick to add this to my list of outdoor adventure planning! More of my favorites include Florida Fish and Wildlife Mgt, Florida State Parks, and Florida Trail.
Parks scream out science lessons!
I use CNET every time I make a major electronic purchase. It has recommended the highest quality items for my limited budget. A go to for the latest on computers and technology.
I love children's museums, and their websites! Even if a trip to the museum is out of the question, websites often offer a virtual field trip from home. Students can explore exhibits, play games, and teachers can print out lesson plans. I do this before every trip to DC. Many of the Smithsonian's even have downloadable apps.
