Middle Education
We're continually reviewing new sites and adding resources, and appreciate your comments and suggestions. Suggest a link here


The Internet Scout project at the University of Wisconsin provides here a valuable resource tool "to support effective use of the Internet by educators and researchers in the US." These folks provide Internet announcements updated daily and available in archive, explanations of the best Internet tools, and a KIDS section where K-12 students review sites.

The history and traditions of the Boy Scouts of America are described in thoughtful detail on this site.

This is a great site with a gallery of wonderful photos, information on all kinds of reef animals, links, and java games like a word search, a crossword, and a slider. Soon to come are "Jewels of the Sea" and "Aquarium Resources". A very well done and gorgeous site.

This site has lovely gallery photos, an informative tour of the solar system, links, a Challenger memorial, and java games. Very well put together, it's an all around beautiful site.

The Seeds of Change Garden web site is the result of the Smithsonian Institution's Natural Partners Initiative, and was created by the New Mexico State University College of Agriculture and Home Economics. There are garden activities for all seasons, recipes, and lots of wonderful information about the origins of food crops. Turn on the Teacher/Parent Notes and get extra information on each page. Cool!

This site details a space exploration simulation program set up for 4th graders in the Coshocton, Ohio, public schools. Detailed in word and picture, it looks like an excellent effort with great student interest and involvement.

This is a great spot for you and your child to learn about astronomy together. One part, the High-Energy Astrophysics Learning Center, is pretty advanced in its study of X-ray and gamma-ray technology, but it's well done and allows you to ask questions of professional high-energy astronomers. A nice feature is the linking of possibly unfamiliar words to a glossary entry.

Lessons and useful information for teaching statistics to students in grades K-12. Nice breakout of information.

Here's a huge research library of annotated links in 25 categories, bringing the resources of the Web to you quickly and easily. Grade level sorting and visual content notations will be helpful additions for teachers and students alike.

This impressive site displays the results of a collaborative effort of Emerson Middle School and the University of Michigan Museum of Art. The students worked with painted panel pieces, an Asian ink scroll, and a pointillist painting. See and learn about the originals, see the students' own work, and read from the discussion board which they used to communicate with museum personnel. Very nice.

Online reviews of children's software for parents, teachers, and kids. A neat resource.

Barbara J. Feldman reviews several great related sites each week for newspapers across the country. This site contains those excellent reviews, available by topic or chronologically. This is a wonderful source of interesting material on the Web, whether you’re surfing with kids or not!

Many full-text fairy and folk tales from countries around the world, plus links to other stories. This is a wonderful spot for young readers.

A very informative article by Mitton Reynolds concerning middle school students performing community service and the benefits associated with it.

An online scientific playground for kids and adults, and a great way to learn about how technology impacts our lives. The interactive exhibits are a delight.

This site tries to give you "a clearer insight into what life is like for children in Thailand," complete with a chance to ask questions of Thai students. There’s lots of information, in word and picture, on the country’s language, culture, and economy. This fun site also lets you visit a Thai school and a Thai home, learn about scouting in Thailand, and more.

New in 1997, ThinkQuest Junior is modeled after the international ThinkQuest competition which encourages older students to form teams to research and build educational Web sites. TQ Junior is for US students in grades 4-6, but the idea is the same. If you'd like to get involved, this site will tell you how.

Under the auspices of the Los Alamos National Laboratory, MegaMath attempts "to bring unusual and important mathematical ideas to elementary school classrooms so that young people and their teachers can think about them." Some very interesting projects, and they'd be fun for older students as well!
