The
Module Maker
Here is step-by-step instruction in developing an online research
module for your students. It provides a solid base for outlining
the research cycle, then developing it.
Museum
Mania On-line Treasure Hunt
This is a very good way of introducing the Internet to kids.
It's a hunt. Not a Moa hunt, (thank
God... they're extinct)
but a hunt. There are questions on the webpage, and you must find
the answers on the pages linked to museum sites. Some may say that
it doesn't have a 'research' component to it as the links are already
there, nevertheless, it provides students with a sense of Internet
Searching Skills as it may very well be their first real hunt.
OnlineClass:Internet
Education Projects
This is a place to find an Internet Project that you can do
with your class.
WebQuest
This is becoming very popular.... It has a list of subjects
for "questing". Once students are comfortable with the search, they
can create their own quest. Everything you need to know is there.

Get involved in this interactive, online project from NASA.
It enables teachers and students to interact with science professionals,

Teachers' lessons and curriculum are readily available.

How do we communicate
From "What's the Big Deal About the Internet?" to non-verbal
communication, or "Is There Anybody Out There?", this online science
exhibit from the Boston Museum of Science explores how we deal with
communication. It includes great activities and experiments, with
scientific essays and links as well. Try out the Six Degrees of
Separation email project, or debate whether the internet has made
us truly a global community, or has instead led to isolation.
