Project staff at Stevens Institute of Technology developed some lesson plans which allow students to use realtime data gathered from the Internet to participate in exciting and real scientific analysis and discovery on a variety of topics ranging from the aurora borealis to earthquakes. Whether you are teaching first grade or college prep, these lesson plans are an opportunity to try unique lessons that can only be done using Internet resources. (NSF underwritten).

Make it Happen!
http://www.edc.org/FSC/MIH/ -Make It Happen! is an approach that improves middle school education for students with diverse learning abilities. In the Make It Happen! approach, interdisciplinary teams of teachers design and implement inquiry-based I-Search Units and integrate technology into these units in meaningful ways to benefit students.

Helping Your Child Learn Science. (US Dept. of Education)
http://www.ed.gov/pubs/parents/Science/Foreword.html -We can use this book to have fun with our children while they learn. Whether we're baking a cake, filling the bathtub, or walking through the park, we can invite our children into the wonders of science. Often when we least expect it, a moment for learning will occur: a dollop of ice cream drops on the sidewalk and ants appear. US/DOE.
